Abenteuer vor der Haustür

A varied hike starting directly from the train station in Gerolstein. The trail leads through the Gerolstein Dolomites, involving some ascents and descents. However, it's well worth the effort: views over Gerolstein and the Eifel region, a cave, and a castle await.

The last day! Today we're spending the whole day walking along the river. How wonderfully relaxing! And the route is quite short, too. We'll reach Liège in the early afternoon, but not before stopping at the supermarket. And then it's off to Cologne by train!

Day 3. The weather remains unsettled. We travel along the Ourthe all day, the river winding its way through the rugged Ardennes cliffs. We pass through beautiful towns and villages. I found La Roche-en-Ardenne absolutely charming. Durbuy was also pretty, although it felt a bit like a stage set. In the

Day 2 starts with heavy rain. We briefly consider whether it makes sense to start late. But it's supposed to rain more or less all day, so there's no point. Let's go.



First we reach Luxembourg, and then shortly after the border we head back into Belgium on an old railway line. We go to Bastogne and then

In autumn, I travelled with @veloslowtravels through the Eifel and Ardennes regions. Day 1 started in Jünkerath and took us along the Vennquerbahn and Vennbahn railway lines to Burg Reuland. Golden autumn as far as the eye could see.

Stage 7 and thus the last one. It's magnificent, the whole way along the water, the sun is shining, and I'm in Venice by early afternoon. 😎 There are sweets and pasta here, and lots of steps over lots of stairs. 🥵

Stage 6, and what can I say? It rains all day. So much so that I take shelter in cemeteries, bus stops, and doorways. In the end, it's decided: I'll sleep in a hotel. And so I have a wonderful evening in Treviso.

Stage 5! The route is gently traversing the Dolomites, as the route is an old railway line. Contrary to expectations, it still takes forever because it's been raining and the road is gravel. So, it's quite difficult to ride. The views are still magnificent. At one point, it rains so heavily that I stop

Stage 4 is quite difficult because I actually want to get off the Munich-Venice cycle path and go my own way. But the road I've chosen is full of narrow tunnels and heavy traffic. So I eventually give up and continue on to Venice. The route leads to the Dolomites on an old railway line, which makes me

Stage 3! Today is the big day. We're going over the Brenner Pass 😎 The weather is holding and it's really quite nice. The climb to the Brenner Pass is comparatively relaxed, and I'm almost a little disappointed when I reach the top. But the descent to Brixen is all the more beautiful. The descent follows
