Maas-Rhine Watershed on Vennquerbahn

Highlight • Natural Monument

"The watershed begins in France near the source of the Saône in the Vosges department between Neufchâteau (Vosges) and Épinal and runs northwards through Lorraine. Near Toul, west of Nancy, the distance between the Moselle and Meuse is only about 15 km. The two rivers are connected here by the Canal de la Marne au Rhin. The watershed runs briefly through Luxembourg, the Chiers flows to the Meuse, all other waters of Luxembourg flow into the Moselle. The watershed runs through Arlon, Libramont-Chevigny, Bastogne, Aldringen and reaches the Losheimergraben the German border.In the North Eifel are the springs of Kyll near Losheimergraben, Olef near Ramscheid, Urft near Schmidtheim, Ahr in Blankenheim (Ahr) and the Erft near Zingsheim.From here the watershed runs east of the Rur over the Kermeter and trtt then into the Jülich-Zülpicher Börde and the North German Plain."

Highlight • Monument

Coming from Germany, it is always uphill, but with an e-bike it is very moderate and problem-free.

Old Water Crane for Steam Locomotives (Buchholz)

Highlight • Monument

A relic from days gone by to look at. But information boards along the route also tell of these times. In the meantime, the station has been a bit embellished and there is also a nice break bench.
