Bike service station at Montenau station

Highlight • Rest Area

At the former train station in Montenau there is a service station for bicycles next to the tourist information office of the municipality of Amel - at least the large pump works well.

Hairpin bend on the Vennbahn in Parc naturel des Hautes-Fagnes – Eifel

Highlight • Cycleway

This hairpin road invites you to make a stop. The cycle path here follows the railway line for a while. Also pay attention to metal crossbars.

Kalterherberg Station and Railbike Café

Highlight • Cafe

Take the railbike to Sourbrodt. Nice leisure activities at the Kalterherberger Hauptbahnhof. With a trolley, today they are called rail bikes, you can go for 30 euros per trolley after a briefing on a seven-kilometer route.

The vehicles can accommodate up to four adults and at least two drivers are required to get around. As it is not possible to overtake on the railroad tracks, it starts at a pleasant pace in the direction of Sourbrodt, where, in addition to the driving pleasure, you can soon enjoy the idyllic landscape of the High Fens. When, at a certain speed, the typical chattering of the rail vehicles can be heard, the pleasure of driving does not just start for hobby railroaders.

Reichenstein Viaduct on the Vennbahn

Highlight • Bridge

The viaduct at Reichenstein is an impressive structure! It doesn't matter whether you ride your bike on the Vennbahn above or below. The train used to be here, today it's cyclists and hikers.
