View from Daun Viaduct

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

In addition to the "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Slant Ear) tunnel, there's another cycling highlight in the region: the Daun Viaduct. Here, you ride over an old railway bridge with a height of 28 meters. The views are accordingly magnificent.

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."

After you have managed the first climb (don't worry, you can do it without an e-bike),

October 4, 2024,Down to Daun - Bike and Hike - Trail-Dog-Trailer
What a tour with a dog in the trailer. Took the old railway line to Daun, now a cycle path.
In Daun we took the dog for a walk and warmed up with a cappuccino.
Then we went up steeply (again) and then rode down on hiking trails and S1 single trails with a trekking bike and trailer. The response …

Today was only a very small tour on the program. I just wanted to drive down the three adjacent maars. Nevertheless, the tour had it all.

Beautiful, scenic bike tour in the Eifel municipality of Daun to Schalkenmehren during a break in the rain.

It doesn't always have to be hundreds of kilometers from home....

44 km from our front door is a beautiful, well-kept parking space for mobile homes at the entrance to Schalkenmehren.

We were there around 3:00 p.m. and did this little "exploration tour".
