Grünewald Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The 126-meter-long, super-great tunnel offers a nice way to cool off in the summer. It is well lit throughout and in the evenings and at night, with a bit of luck, you can even see bats.

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."

The Maare Mosel Cycle Path is a beautiful cycle path, off the beaten track and always paved. It runs from the Daun train station, where you can have some refreshments before the journey, along an old railway line to Bernkastel Kues. Initially you drive through the Vulkaneifel over beautiful viaducts and through several tunnels to Wittlich. From Wittlich it goes …

You cross two wonderful viaducts (unfortunately you have to bypass a third, apparently dilapidated one), drive through four former railway tunnels that are well lit (two of them with suspended …

A dream bike path. We had the bike bus chauffeur us up (about €44 for two people with a bike). The entire route was very well signposted and excellent to drive. The whole time it went on an old railway line through forests, gorges and tunnels. One of the most beautiful routes I've ridden by bike.
