Rest area with a historic railway wagon on the Kyll Cycle Path

Highlight • Rest Area

An original resting place on the Kyll cycle path. Here you can sunbathe on the loungers or find shelter in the discarded original freight wagon of Deutsche Bahn.

Vennquerbahn Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennquerbahn cycle path is really perfect to ride on all types of bikes. If you follow it from Germany towards Belgium, it leads steadily uphill, but very moderately.

Highlight • Monument

Old Water Crane for Steam Locomotives (Buchholz)

Highlight • Monument
