Tips from the Community

Harald Enders
February 23, 2026, Bahntrassenradweg Philipsheim–Binsfeld

The former narrow-gauge railway line between Philippsheim and Binsfeld offers the gentlest ascent from the Kyll Valley towards Wittlich, with a gradient of approximately 3%. Currently, the cycle path leads from Binsfeld via Arenrath to Bruch. The gap between Bruch and Dreis is in the planning stages. Once completed, there will be a continuous connection from the Kyll Valley to Wittlich, and a link to the Wittlich Basin cycle path in Dreis.

🏰 Rittersdorf Castle Rittersdorf Castle is one of the most valuable and best-preserved medieval sites in the region: a moated castle located in the municipality of Rittersdorf, just about three kilometers north of Bitburg, directly on the Nims River. The almost square structure is surrounded by a moat. Surrounded by the tranquil Nims river landscape, Rittersdorf Castle is a popular destination for history buffs, gourmets, and cyclists in the Eifel region.

🌊 The Nims River The Nims is an idyllic river that flows through the Bitburg-Prüm district in the Eifel region: The Nims is an approximately 61 km long left tributary of the Prüm. It rises near Weinsheim and flows south, past towns such as Schönecken and Bitburg, before joining the Prüm below Irrel.

Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.
