Vennbahn Cycle Path at Raeren Station

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennbahnradweg is a cross-border long-distance cycling route between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, which runs along the route of Prussia's former Vennbahn over approximately 130 km from Aachen through the Hohes Venn-Eifel Nature Park and the Ardennes to Troisvierges. It is part of the RAVeL network (French: Réseau Autonome de Voie Lentes), which is a trail network for walkers, riders and cyclists in the Belgian Wallonie and was launched in October 1995. In German-speaking countries, the hiking and cycling path was named Vennbahn and is classified in its total length as a premium cycle path.
The cycling and walking path is adopted by numerous cyclists, skaters and hikers and the neighboring communities promise to increase the local tourism in the future. This is supported by the fact that already some former station buildings have been converted into service areas, hotels and boarding houses are set up for day trippers and local public transport offers so-called bicycle buses as shuttle service. In the course of 2013, between Roetgen and Kalterherberg, seven steel houses were built in the form of a "lost wagon" intended for weather protection or a resting place.

The Vennbahn is a former railway, largely converted into a cycle path since 2006, between Luxembourg and Germany. In between, the Vennbahn runs through the Eastern Cantons, which were assigned to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles, partly over a narrow Belgian corridor through Germany.

June 12, 2025,Rurberg-Vennbahn-Kornelimünster

A very challenging route with a section of the Vennbahn as a cycle superhighway with optimal conditions.
Unfortunately, the culinary offerings were limited, with many cafes closed. Our destination, Kornelimünster, remained stuck in the urban development of the 1970s...just cars everywhere in the historic old town. No place to linger. What a shame 😒
We were compensated for in Venwegen …
