The route to Vielsalm is connected to the Vennbahn by the Freiherr von Korff Bridge, an overpass structure. The bridge (completed in 1916, 11 arches, 285 m long, 18 m high) is named after the former district administrator of the Malmedy district, Freiherr von Korff. The former railway line has been converted into the Ravel cycle path L47A since 2023.

August 31, 2021,Vennbahnradweg: Kalterherberg - St. Vith

After the weather finally allowed it again, I did the other part of the Vennbahn cycle path through Belgium today. The route there is a lot more open with a fantastic view over the High Fens and the Ardennes. Moors, forests, cows, horses. Very nice routing of the old railway line. However, the many photo stops prevent rapid progress and …

This second stage begins at the German border and now leads through the German-speaking part of Belgium towards Luxembourg. Like the first stage, this journey runs almost entirely on a nearly flat, converted railway line, with only a few short climbs.

The Vennbahn cycle path has been on my wish list for a long time and today I was able to ride a section.
The path is great: great asphalt, low gradients, almost only in the countryside, clear road crossings, great signage.
The landscape itself is impressive, bog and spring areas. Numerous information signs on the landscape (you pass some nature …

Started in St. Vith and turned onto the RAVel 45 in Wames with the desire to see the Bütgenbach reservoir and the Worriken campsite. The former railway line runs past both, but you only get a few views of the lake and have to walk on the lower footpaths. But it doesn't matter, once again a relaxing tour on beautiful …
