The Vennbahn cycle path near Kalterherberg

Highlight • Bridge

The Vennbahn cycle path is perfect for a leisurely bike ride in beautiful countryside.
The Vennbahn cycle path is relatively busy on Sundays. During the week it is even more beautiful.
A great route to ride, no matter where you start. A real pleasure and balm for the soul.

Vennbahn Railbike Section Along the Upper Rur

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennbahn cycle path runs along this section directly on the still young Rur. Here it makes its way through the fascinating Hohe Venn, a high moor in the German-Belgian border area. Here you can drive for miles without hitting any cars or even houses.

High Fens

Highlight • Natural

A unique heather landscape heralds the High Fens, which one passes on this section. The fascinating high moor area is a gigantic water reservoir, so that there are numerous streams and rivers to be bridged on this section. Past the former station building of Sourbrodt, the Vennbahntrasse paves its way between the two lakes of Robertville and Bütgenbach and finally ends in Waimes (Weismes).
