Another intensive day on the Vennbahn cycle path.
The sun came out early and so I was able to set off early after everything was dried and stowed away. Dior landscape at the beginning of the High Fens was fantastic. Forest areas and heathland alternated.
I decided to drive the four kilometers down to Monschau. The small town was already …

For anyone who wants to go for a fast bike ride with a maximum gradient of 2% over 100km and through beautiful scenery, I recommend the Vennbahn route!!!!

August 30, 2024,GW1 - dag 13 - Troisverges naar Venwegen (net voor Aachen)

Day 13
Woke up to rain for the first time. Always a bit of a hassle on a campsite. Still dry when breaking down the tent. Delicious breakfast offered by the campsite. Very tasty in bad weather. Finally left at 8:45, and 4 minutes later it started raining again. And then until about 12:00.

On the third and final day, the Vennbahn cycle path was on the agenda. Overcast skies and a bit of drizzle in the morning made the weather a little more bearable than on the previous days 😅 Despite a loaded bike and 50mm MTB tires (which were a real advantage on the first two days), it was really easy to …

July 12, 2025,Vennbahn: Troisvierges 🇱🇺- Aachen 🇩🇪[F54/25]

So today we're heading back to Aachen via the Vennbahn.
The tour starts off depressingly at the start, with a 10% gradient 😩.
It was still a bit windy and shady until St. Vith. After that, the conditions were perfect: pure sunshine but not too warm.

The tour had been planned for a long time, and today was finally the day. We took the train to Aachen again.

At the station, we first went to the bakery to buy the "famous Streuselbrötchen."

After some refreshments, we set off toward the Vennbahn.

Beautiful sunny autumn weather for my first 💯🚴🏻‍♀️ tour 😅

The Vennbahn cycle path, a route that was closed in 2002, is one of the longest railway cycle paths in Europe.
After starting in Aachen, the route goes through East Belgium to Troisvierges in Luxembourg.

The 100-110 km section was very strenuous for my poor legs 🤭🤭
