The Streckenhäuschen restaurant in Mertloch is highly recommended. In summer, you can sit on the terrace and enjoy views of the bike path, playground, and barbecue area.

Anyone who has travelled along the busy Eifel roads, e.g. to Maria Laach, without a cycle path, will enjoy the peace and quiet on this route.
