Insect Hotel and Rest Area in Hertogenwald

Highlight • Rest Area

There is a nice rest stop at the insect paradise. A little way off, "giant" ants were crawling up my legs. I couldn't get away that quickly.

November 8, 2025,Hohes Venn 🍁 herbstlich, Streckenabschnitt Aachen - Monschau

October 1, 2023,Fahrradtour-Vennbahnradweg von Roetgen nach Aachen Brand

Roetgen parked directly on the bike path. Despite lots of cyclists and hikers, it was easy to ride until just before Walheim, where it became chaotic. It was Thanksgiving Day in Walheim and of course all hell broke loose. Then we drove to Aachen Brand but the thought of the masses of cyclists and hikers drew us back. But otherwise …

June 8, 2023,Von Monschau nach Aachen - Brand - Vennbahn-Radweg

This tour is highly recommended. On a very well paved path, it is almost always a bit downhill and is therefore a little easier than driving in the opposite direction. At best, take the bicycle bus from Aachen to Monschau or Kalterherberg - if there's still space in the trailer... maybe reserve in advance. Many children are out there with …

This tour is highly recommended. On a very well paved path, it is almost always a bit uphill and is therefore a little more difficult than driving in the opposite direction. We drove past Raeren on the Vennbahntrasse in the direction of Monschau, but then turned back early due to the weather.
At best, take the bicycle bus from Aachen …

April 9, 2023,Fahrradtour Bergrunter mit Lille und Luise

On Sunday @🇺🇦Lille, @Luise🚴‍♂️ and I went cycling downhill for a long time. Dad drove us to Lammersdorf, which is about 500 meters above sea level. So we could roll to Kornelimünster (about 250 meters above sea level) and had to pedal very little. After 6 kilometers we had already eaten all the biscuits and that's why we ate cake …
