Yesterday's tour was strenuous, today it was fun. The tour starts in Monschau and ends in Großlangenfeld. Almost 100% of the route is on very good asphalted cycle paths. The route is very well signposted. There are plenty of opportunities to rest. The fact that my bike got a bit dirty was because of the detour into the moor. The …

August 24, 2024,Von Troisvierges nach Monschau (Vennbahnradweg)

At around kilometer 74, Komot had the idea of leaving the Vennbahn route and driving down a road into the valley, then pushing a well-trodden dirt road back up the opposite side to get back onto the Vennbahn route. This idea should not be followed and the rider should simply stay on the Vennbahn route at kilometer 74.

After a wonderful night at the Ulftaler Schenke and a delicious dinner yesterday, we continued along the Vennbahn Cycle Path towards Aachen today. So much Eifel gold and sustainable agriculture, blooming meadows even in June, a dream for humans, animals, and nature. Therefore, there aren't many photos of the route.

Railway cycle path - beautiful, paved path, and you can see something of the landscape here... the connecting path from Monschau alone was more scenically appealing...
