May 3, 2024,Vennbahn-Radweg Süd

The Vennbahn cycle path has been on my wish list for a long time. This year it was finally going to happen. Due to the weather, however, we had to abandon the plan to cycle the route from Troisvierges to Aachen and, after the northern part from Monschau to Aachen, cycle the southern part from Troisvierges to Sourbrodt on the …

It's great cycling on that track but I thought it was a bit strange that I didn't see any inline skates, fantastic inline skating terrain there and not dangerous... okay, you can make it.

You are also not alone quickly, a lot of cyclists. It is a bicycle highway over the Ardennes.

Completed the first stretch in perfect weather! At the beginning, there are several 10% inclines that really challenged me. The rest of the route also had plenty of climbs. The route is very well signposted and easy to ride! Tomorrow, there will be a lot of downhill until Aachen.

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...

From the campsite we went directly to Waimes via hilly but little-used country roads. After coffee and croissants for breakfast, we drove straight onto the Vennbahn cycle path; first a short stretch in the direction of Monschau and then turn off at the junction in the direction of Troisvierges.
In bright sunshine we enjoyed the beautiful landscape, some with great …
