The 128 meter long and 24 meter high viaduct was not destroyed during World War II and is therefore preserved to this day - it offers a great view of the valley.

...the Vennbahn cycle path is simply brilliant. On Belgian territory through the Eifel without having to climb the ladder to heaven. On the way back I liked the descent from Lammersdorf. 👍👍👍

July 21, 2022,Radtour mit den Kindern auf dem Vennbahnweg: Tag 3 von Monschau nach Aachen

On the third and last day of the Vennbahn tour, it's back "home". After a night of heavy rain and thunderstorms at Monschau train station, we left the mobile home there and set off for Aachen shortly after 9 a.m. when the weather was dry again. From Lammersdorf it was almost all downhill. Since we "driven away" before the predicted …

Cold but sunny - that's the weather forecast for today. My Germany ticket is still valid until the end of November 2023, a good opportunity to take the Brompton and the train to Aachen and explore the Vennbahn cycle path. With a length of 125 km, it is one of the longest railway routes in Europe and runs through the …

Reached Worb Top speed on my speedometer = 58.1👌👌

June 28, 2024,Monschau-Mützenich nach Aachen

The cycle path from Monschau-Mützenich to Aachen is very well developed. It is almost entirely downhill and is therefore also ideal for less sporty cyclists. The route is very good and you have almost nothing to do with the traffic in Aachen. It leads directly past the Aachen-Rote Erde train station.

August 20, 2024,Fahrradtour Vennbahn Radweg 1 Etappe

Our bike tour starts in Aachen. At the Rothe train station we first looked for the entrance to the Vennbahn cycle path. After that everything went well. We cycled from Aachen to Monschau Mützenich. A great tour and highly recommended, it's fun. The next tour starts tomorrow.

August 14, 2023,Van Aken naar Monschau over de Vennbahn.

On the road early to cycle a route of the Vennbahn with friends. We would start from the parking garage at the station in Aachen. In Aachen it is a bit of a chore to cycle, poorly indicated where you may or may not cycle. But we managed to get on the route fairly quickly. The closer we got to …
