Tips

Cycling

The Vennquerbahn cycle path is very well developed and very easy to drive on. Smooth asphalt and plenty of opportunities to take a break.

Cycling

Since the Vennquerbahn cycle path, or RaVell, was once an old railway line, there are still several relics from that era here. Otherwise, it's very well-developed and crosses some great bridges. From Bütgenbach, it's mostly downhill.
