Through the 'Große Schlitzohr'

Highlight • Structure

A truly amazing experience for young and old. Turn on the lights – even though the tunnel is lit.
And in hot weather, it's like riding through a "refrigerator."

Großes Schlitzohr Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The former railway tunnel of the Eifelquerbahn near Mehren, known as the "Großes Schlitzohr," is part of the Maare-Mosel cycle path and offers a refreshing dip in both summer and winter. At 560 meters long, it's already astonishingly long.

Anyone who cycles along the Maare Mosel cycle path will see the mighty viaduct from below and cycle underneath it.

Wonderful tour, from one cycle path to the next...Cosmos cycle path 👍👍Kyll cycle path and Maare Moselle cycle path...everything merges almost without any major interruptions, lots of forest, along the stream. Take the country road down to Manderscheid with caution...it will be very fast if you don't brake permanently and there are many curves, motorbikes...but fortunately it's only a small …

Very nice not too difficult tour through the Vulkaneifel. Mosel Maare cycle path is very well signposted, the Kosmosweg has a few gaps. Unfortunately it was still very cold and the lake in the Dauner Kurpark was still frozen. Better plan the tour for April or May.

The tour was actually supposed to go from the Gemündener Maar to the Weinfelder Maar and then to the cycle path with the tunnel, but I must have got lost somewhere... Well, as I got older...
But then it continued as planned: Schalkenmehrener Maar, Pulvermaar, Holzmaar and Mehrfelder Maar. The routes were extremely varied: cycle paths over old railway lines, …

Vulkaneifel, a lot to offer. Wonderful, although probably better for hiking than for cycling.
Eifelsteig - reserved for next year! 😉

MMR Mosel Maar cycle path as well as the Kosmos cycle path, well-developed, mostly high-speed paths.

Rounding or other ways back - rather difficult.
