There's a small cafe in a train carriage, a great place for a coffee stop. Unfortunately, I could only pay in cash.

At Hemmeres (municipality of Winterspelt) the railway crosses the border river Our twice: the railway was a Belgian corridor through Germany and created a German enclave. In 1949, Belgium took possession of all of Hemmeres (no longer a German enclave), but with the 1956 border treaty, Belgium transferred Hemmeres and the railway corridor to Germany.

Ideal conditions for the friendly rodents

It is wonderful to stay at the Our in the hamlet of Hemmeres. There is a picnic area and you can swim in the water at the foot of a steep wall.

crazy, here you are again in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm

The beaver valley mentioned here is actually the Alfbachtal, but that doesn't change the fact that beavers live here and that you cycle through beautiful nature.

Worthwhile cycle path on a former railway line with a very nice view

The monument owes its existence to the President of the Association of the Eifel and Ardennes, Georg Wagner, who suggested its construction as a member of parliament and President of the Chamber in Luxembourg. The memorial consists of four stones bearing the names of the »pioneers for a united Europe« (Konrad Adenauer, Joseph Bech, Paul-Henri Spaak and Robert Schuman). The memorial stones come from the respective countries of origin of the named founding fathers. Gneiss boulder from the Lüneburg Heath for Adenauer, a sandstone block from the Müllerthal-Waldbillig for Bech, blue slate from the High Fens for Spaak and a slate block from the Vosges for Schuman. The fifth stone represents the Treaties of Rome and the signatories from the six countries involved. Near the European Monument and directly at the actual three-country point, a pedestrian bridge connecting Germany and Belgium leads over the Our, which was named after Georg Wagner.
