Monschau Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Shortly before reaching the old town, there is a top vantage point on the corpse alley. Nicely located, with a wonderful view of the evangelical church and the Red House, among other things.

Tough Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This is a great place to let off steam if you underestimate the Voreifel. This section is certainly challenging.

Grünentalstraße to Hammer

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice green valley, very quiet, but there is also a wide shoulder. Rolls well on the ground.

Grünentalstraße climb from Widdau

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A really cool, steep descent and climb. At the end, 30 km/h felt like walking pace with lead in my legs. :) Beautiful green valley, very quiet, yet there's also a wide shoulder. The surface is easy to roll on.
