MTB tracks in the Eifel

The Eifel excites with diverse mountain ranges and higher peaks – despite the fact that the rest of NRW’s surface is comparably flat. The steep ascents delight passionate mountain bikers as well as free riders.

The Römerkanal-Radwanderweg (Roman canal cycling path) from Nettersheim to Meckenheim challenges even advanced bikers, but rewards with spectacular sights. Also, tours from Wittich to the castles of Manderscheid or the Unkeler lap in Bad Neuenahr convince with interesting sites and beautiful landscapes.
