Beautiful valley in almost any season. Long paved road, but also many unpaved paths for mountain bikers. You can ride/walk very far through the valley in different directions and to different towns.

October 15, 2023,NRW Eifel: Eifelschleife Ahekapelle bei Nettersheim (15.10.2023)

A short Eifel loop through the Geneva stream valley to the chapel of St. Bishop Servatius, popularly known as the Ahe Chapel. It is a protected monument and part of the Way of St. James.

A beautiful loop through the Eifel, which unfortunately mostly led over asphalt and gravel. Today we didn't have the best weather for long-distance views, but it was still quite humid!🥵.
