One of the longest cross-border rail trails in Europe, leading through three countries: Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg, 125 km long, almost completely asphalted.

Extending over 125 km, the Vennbahn is Europe's longest cross-border cycle path on a former railway line. It stretches between two points where three countries meet and runs across East Belgium from Aachen through the matchless high moorland region of the Hohes-Venn-Eifel nature reserve to Troisvierges in Luxembourg.

Author’s recommendation

Aachen, Kornelimünster, Raeren - the pottery museum, the hedges in the vicinity of Sourbrodt, Wolfsbusch, St.Vith, Our valley, Burg-Reuland.
