In addition to the "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Slant Ear) tunnel, there's another cycling highlight in the region: the Daun Viaduct. Here, you ride over an old railway bridge with a height of 28 meters. The views are accordingly magnificent.

Maare-Moselle Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

After you have managed the first climb (don't worry, you can do it without an e-bike),

Through the 'Große Schlitzohr'

Highlight • Structure

A truly amazing experience for young and old. Turn on the lights – even though the tunnel is lit.

Nice to find bike paths nearby. Nice route. Have a good stop at the Morgenfelderhof farm cafe in Eckfeld right next to the bike path. Homemade cake, good coffee, nice staff. 👍🏻

As in 2016, we drove to Daun, where we parked at the train station. The Maare Moselle cycle path begins at the train station. We stopped the trip at the time because we were only on the road with 20" wheels without an E.
