May 2, 2026, Vennbahn Cycle Path with Broom Blossoms

The Vennbahn is one of the longest cycle paths along disused railway lines in Europe. It leads through 3 countries, is completely asphalted and has only slight inclines.

This small stone chapel in Strauch was built by the villagers, but the exact dates of its construction are unclear. Originally, another building in Strauch served as a chapel from 1850 until it was expanded into a church (St. Matthias) in 1922 to serve the growing population.

Cycling along the L246 between Schmidt and Strauch is great because there is a slight incline that invites you to coast downhill from Schmidt.

On Monschauer Straße in Nideggen Slchmidt you can find this wayside shrine where the Corpus Christi procession also stops.
