シュトロッツビュッシュ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

On the farm track parallel to the railway line, directly next to the vineyard, there is a simple monument commemorating the 50th parallel north, which crosses here. It is only a few meters from the (presumably more famous) monument on the railway line cycle path, separated only by some bushes.

Very good surface, lots of deciduous forest

Main inspection of the Pleiner Viaduct on the Maare-Mosel Cycle Route Plein Viaduct, length 98 meters, height above valley 31 meters Unkenstein Tunnel, length 140 meters Grünewald Tunnel, length 124 meters The Pleiner Viaduct consists of a five-span arch bridge. The structure is located on the Hasborn - Wittlich section of the Maare-Mosel Cycle Route. The viaduct, first built in 1910, demolished in 1945, and rebuilt in 1953, is approximately 98 meters long, approximately 31 meters high, and 4.65 meters wide between the railings. It was built on site using reinforced concrete, and the piers, abutments, and side elevations were clad in sandstone. However, the structural concrete is exposed in the arch undersides. After the railway line was closed by Deutsche Bahn in 1984, the tracks were dismantled in 1989. Before the structure was reopened as part of the Maare-Mosel cycle path in 1998, it was completely renovated.

"Old Station" Schalkenmehren Passenger service between Daun and Wittlich was discontinued on November 1, 1981. Schalkenmehren. Approaching the Old Station in Schalkenmehren on the former railway line, today's Maare-Mosel cycle path, and seeing the station building, it's hard to believe that it was opened as a fourth-class railway station exactly 100 years ago. But how did it all begin 100 years ago? Surveying for the Daun-Wittlich railway line began as early as 1897. General preparatory work for the single-track line began in 1907. But it would take some time before the Daun-Schalkenmehren-Gillenfeld section opened on December 1, 1909, with the line running over the 28-meter-high Daun viaduct and through the 560-meter-long Schalkenmehren railway tunnel, "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Sly Fox). The extension from Gillenfeld to Manderscheid to Pantenburg was completed on May 1, 1910, and the extension from Manderscheid-Pantenburg to Wittlich, signifying the completion of the entire line, was completed on July 1, 1910. The completion of the Daun-Wittlich railway line brought rapid development to the village of Schalkenmehren. In the first year of the line's existence (1910), 18,968 tickets were sold in Schalkenmehren, followed by 25,057 in 1913, 27,969 in 1919, and even 30,279 in 1922. In addition, Schalkenmehren station was designed for general cargo traffic and the receipt and dispatch of wagonloads.

The Maare-Mosel cycle path is a real highlight - especially with the impressive viaducts and the former railway tunnels, which bring a touch of adventure to the tour. The path leads through beautiful landscapes, and a short break at the rest area near Gillenfeld is ideal for recharging your batteries and enjoying nature. This stop is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view over the Eifel before continuing on. A highly recommended cycle path that combines nature and a piece of railway history!

Very beautiful viaduct, steam engines used to whistle, puff and smoke over it. Today cyclists ride over it. It's impressive what was achieved with simple and analogue means when it was built more than 100 years ago.

There are days when you're glad to have a local restaurant on the way. And if it's so well-kept, then it's even nicer to stop in and replenish your drinks supply.
