Nice change on the cycle path along the Ahr

Behind the old railway tracks on the route between Gerolstein and Kyllburg, a special atmosphere opens up - a feeling of adventure and nostalgia. The path follows the old railway line and leads through dense greenery, past disused railway stations and under ancient bridges that tell stories of journeys past. The sounds of the trains have long since disappeared and have made way for the hum of nature and the crunching of the tires on the gravel. A quiet, almost meditative journey that lets you feel the raw beauty of the Volcanic Eifel and brings the region's past to life.

It's a nice view, but it's better to look at the road around the town. What happened here? Very bad asphalt.
