Today I knew: Nothing and no one can stop me from reaching my goal. The wind had taken a liking to me again and was blowing strongly in my back. I was in the flow and glided in gentle serpentines through the beautiful Maasduinen National Park. The sun shone pleasantly warm - not as merciless as in midsummer

And the ride continued! This time my route took me along the river Maas. So far on my tour I've been really lucky with the wind and weather - but on this day? My luck account seemed to be overdrawn. The headwind had kicked in with full force and decided to make the day really "exciting" for me. Traveling

From Monschau, I continued on the Vennbahn towards Aachen in a relaxed manner. I immediately noticed that I had left the Eifel behind me - because just before Aachen, the road went downhill almost cheekily. When I arrived in Aachen, I treated myself to an exploratory tour of the old town with the historic

The next day my journey took me to the next river valley - along the river Sauer and later the Our. The valley runs right on the border of the southern Eifel, and the rivers themselves partly form the border between Germany and Luxembourg - the eighth neighboring country on my journey.

Saar at its best:
Before the Saar flows into the Moselle, it showed me its most beautiful side once again. This impressive route begins in Merzig, where it leads past the famous Saar loop. It continued past a quarry whose steep rock faces are a little reminiscent of the Grand Canyon - at least in miniature

We continued along a man-made waterway: the Saar Canal. Not to be confused with the Saar River - the canal is the shy twin that runs parallel to the Saar. Originally, like its colleague the Canal de la Marne au Rhin, it was used to transport goods. The parallel game ends in Saargemünd and the canal flows

When I woke up, I was immediately flooded with two feelings. First: I actually completed the trip - and boy, was I proud of myself! Second: When I finish this day, this fantastic trip will be over... A bittersweet moment. But hey, the second feeling quickly dissipated - after all, after the trip is before
