The Vennbahn cycle path is a cross-border long-distance cycle path between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, which runs along the route of the Vennbahn, which was built during the Prussian era and is now the former Vennbahn, for around 130 km from Aachen through the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park and the Ardennes to Troisvierges (German: Ulflingen). It is part of the RAVeL network (French: Réseau Autonome de Voies Lentes), which is a network of paths for hikers, horse riders and cyclists in the Belgian Wallonia and was launched in October 1995. In German-speaking countries, the hiking and cycling path was given the name Vennbahn and is classified as a premium cycle path in its entire length.
The cycling and hiking path is popular with numerous cyclists, skaters and hikers, and the neighboring communities hope that it will increase local tourism in the future. This is supported by the fact that some former train station buildings have already been converted into rest areas, hotels and guest houses are geared up for day trippers and local public transport provides so-called bicycle buses as a shuttle service. In the course of 2013, seven steel houses in the shape of a "lost wagon" were built between Roetgen and Kalterherberg, which are intended as weather protection or rest areas.
