Vennbahn Railbike Section Along the Upper Rur

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennbahn cycle path runs along this section directly on the still young Rur. Here it makes its way through the fascinating Hohe Venn, a high moor in the German-Belgian border area. Here you can drive for miles without hitting any cars or even houses.

The Vennbahn cycle path near Kalterherberg

Highlight • Bridge

The Vennbahn cycle path is perfect for a leisurely bike ride in beautiful countryside.
The Vennbahn cycle path is relatively busy on Sundays. During the week it is even more beautiful.
A great route to ride, no matter where you start. A real pleasure and balm for the soul.

Vennbahn Cycle Path (RAVeL L48) – Hautes Fagnes – Eifel Nature Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A fairly beautiful section of the Vennbahn cycle path runs here partly along the trolley track through the Venn.

The Vennbahn Cycle Path is one of the longest cross-border railway cycle paths in Europe and meanders from Germany through Belgium to Luxembourg.

High Fens

Highlight • Natural

A unique heather landscape heralds the High Fens, which one passes on this section. The fascinating high moor area is a gigantic water reservoir, so that there are numerous streams and rivers to be bridged on this section. Past the former station building of Sourbrodt, the Vennbahntrasse paves its way between the two lakes of Robertville and Bütgenbach and finally ends in Waimes (Weismes).

April 8, 2023,🇧🇪 🇩🇪 Vennbahnradweg 🚴- Sankt Vith - Waimes - Hohe Venn - Monschau

Strengthened with breakfast ☕I start my 2nd stage from St. Vith on the Vennradweg (RAVeL L48). Right at the beginning I reach the first highlight, the "Freiherr von Korff" bridge. This is already very impressive. This viaduct is 285 meters long and 18 meters high. It was built between March 13th and November 21st, 1916. A small path leads up …

2nd day stage of the Vennbahn cycle path from Aachen to Troisvierges:
Combination of stage 3 komoot.com/tour/736105386 and stage 4 komoot.com/tour/736105766 from komoot.com/user/ostbelgien in one day

For long stretches we had quite strong headwinds, which made today more strenuous than yesterday and reduced the average speed - even if the latter was higher than yesterday due to the descents.

July 5, 2023,Vennbahnradweg 2.Etappe: Monschau Sankt Vith

On the way to Sankt Vith with a pit stop in Bütgenbach there was strong April weather: storm, rain, 14 degrees. Not only is the great landscape and the very rollable path beautiful, but above all the arrival. Then the surprise: a suite of hotel rooms, brand new with a sauna in the bathroom 🌧️😄

Today we went to Monschau for breakfast. After breakfast we went to the mustard mill where we went on a guided tour which was very interesting. Afterwards the chain on Marlies' bike broke. Thanks to Michael's help Marlies was able to go to the bike shop who quickly fitted her with a new chain. After that we were able to …

Pleasant weather and the beautifully smooth, asphalted cycle path with clear road crossings - simply pure cycling pleasure. Only the descent from Monschau train station into town was a bit tedious, but the route from Kalterherberg is definitely recommended. Monschau was really full today, you could only push the bike. A beautiful half-timbered town worth seeing with many small shops …

August 31, 2022,Vennbahnradweg von St.Vith nach Kalterherberg und zurück

The Vennbahn cycle path has been on my wish list for a long time and today I was able to ride a section.
The path is great: great asphalt, low gradients, almost only in the countryside, clear road crossings, great signage.
The landscape itself is impressive, bog and spring areas. Numerous information signs on the landscape (you pass some nature …

August 19, 2024,St. Vith - Kalterherberg (Vennbahnradweg)

At a pleasant 20 degrees - a little cooler in the valleys - we once again cycled along the excellently paved Vennbahn cycle path. Minimal unevenness in the ground and the landscape was worth seeing.
