Good and quiet cycle path along the beautiful river Kyll. It is almost flat here so there is not much to climb, but you can cycle nicely.

Near Mürlenbach, the Kylltal cycle path leads over this narrow bridge. From here you have a beautiful view along the stream and over the wooded slopes.

The route from Densborn to Mürlenbach leads through the quiet, pristine nature of the Eifel. As a cyclist, you can feel the peace of the valley, while the Kyll babbles beside you and the green slopes appear like gentle waves. Past small half-timbered houses and through picturesque places where time seems to have stood still. Halfway there is a view of the mountain ruins of Mürlenbach - a piece of history that rises majestically above the valley. The perfect place to take a short break, breathe in the air and let the Eifel feeling sink in.
