Maifeld Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

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.

Great rail trail near Naunheim

The thermometer showed 15-16 degrees, but the cool and sometimes strong wind made the temperature feel much lower. Nevertheless, it was a lovely tour with the blossoming rapeseed fields. And in spring, the birds are noisier on any other cycle path than here - certainly an ideal breeding paradise with a view of the fields and the now quite dense, …

Perfect weather, with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius and a still bearable wind. There was little traffic on the track. Restaurants along the track in Ochtendung were closed, but the beer garden in Polch was open.

In beautiful summer weather I cycled the entire railway cycle path on the Maifeld. It was quite busy, the restaurants in Polch and Ochtendung were almost full at lunchtime, as far as I could see as I drove past. Always beautiful, nature and pure peace.

Enjoyed the beautiful and now often shady railway lines again in the best weather. The detour between Polch and Ochtendung that still existed in the spring is gone, the dangerous crossing over the road is completely new (as is the road itself) and is now safe to cross. That's nice for cyclists. Otherwise, the otherwise so green overgrown path is …

Temperatures around 20 degrees from the morning, pleasant cycling weather. The fun of cycling was spoiled by the less than ideal signage for a cycle path diversion in Polch. And both restaurants in Polch and Ochtendung were closed!

The Maifeld cycle path is one of the last in the Eifel that we haven't cycled yet. Today was the day. We particularly liked the rest areas and viewpoints. There are lovely playgrounds for small children. We particularly enjoyed the Polch junction. I was on my Raleigh organic touring bike. A clear recommendation.

The rapeseed is blooming and smelling wonderful, even though the temperature was still quite spring-like at around 15 degrees. Plus a cool breeze.
The detour from Polch in the direction of Ochtendung is paved, but often goes along the autobahn and steeply up to Ruitsch. Lt. Sign until June 2022, the crossing of the country road near Ochtendung is being …
