View of the Weisweiler Power Plant from Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 570 meters, this viewpoint is one of the highest places in the vicinity. On good days you can look up to the Rhenish lignite mining area. After crossing the road expect great singletrack down to Simonskall.

Steep Descent to Simonskall

Highlight • Climb

View towards Schmidt

From here you have a great view towards Schmidt, and even further on a clear day. Stop for a moment to enjoy it, and then continue on, for example, to the Siebengebirge hills.

Schmidt–Vossenack Serpentines

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Gorgeous route! Top asphalt and wonderful switchbacks. An absolute must-ride in the Rur-Eifel! I think the direction Schmidt-Vossenack is ideal, you can walk down from Schmidt and the switchbacks to Vossenack are great for climbing.
