Großes Schlitzohr Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The former railway tunnel of the Eifelquerbahn near Mehren, known as the "Großes Schlitzohr," is part of the Maare-Mosel cycle path and offers a refreshing dip in both summer and winter. At 560 meters long, it's already astonishingly long.

Through the 'Große Schlitzohr'

Highlight • Structure

A truly amazing experience for young and old. Turn on the lights – even though the tunnel is lit.
And in hot weather, it's like riding through a "refrigerator."

Today was only a very small tour on the program. I just wanted to drive down the three adjacent maars. Nevertheless, the tour had it all. The issued "bicycle route" on the Gemündener Maar had a gradient of up to 3% up to the Dronkenturm. The surface was rough with roots. Sometimes I could only push my bike. In return …

October 4, 2024,Down to Daun - Bike and Hike - Trail-Dog-Trailer

What a tour with a dog in the trailer. Took the old railway line to Daun, now a cycle path.
In Daun we took the dog for a walk and warmed up with a cappuccino.
