Old Ochtendung Station

Highlight • Restaurant

Beer garden at the old train station in Ochtende (from Sept 22 there will also be food. Because of the current status of the renovation phase, I don't believe in it yet.

This section is really highly recommended.
It offers top restored train stations, in Polch there is a great restaurant in it.
There are also two tunnel passages, viaducts, art and recreation areas with wide views of the Eifel.

Beautiful Pellenz cycle tour with Maifeld cycle path. Easy to ride even with a "normal" bicycle (i.e. without a motor).
