Beautiful valley in almost any season. Long paved road, but also many unpaved paths for mountain bikers. You can ride/walk very far through the valley in different directions and to different towns.

October 15, 2023,NRW Eifel: Eifelschleife Ahekapelle bei Nettersheim (15.10.2023)

A short Eifel loop through the Geneva stream valley to the chapel of St. Bishop Servatius, popularly known as the Ahe Chapel. It is a protected monument and part of the Way of St. James.

A beautiful loop through the Eifel, which unfortunately mostly led over asphalt and gravel. Today we didn't have the best weather for long-distance views, but it was still quite humid!🥵.

Nice little loop, but few paths and lots of cyclists. Views are nice and my highlight were of course the Highland cows 🥰. So if you are looking for an easy, not lonely tour, you will find it here.

Today we went again from Nettersheim to a small loop. Even if the route leads a lot over wide farm roads and asphalt, I liked the tour. Highlights for me were the eponymous Ahe chapel and the valley of the Geneva stream. I also liked the views of and around Nettersheim in this beautiful weather. A narrow path led back …

Today we took advantage of the great weather and went to Nettersheim. 2 years ago our tortoises moved to Nettersheim 🐢🐢and we combined a visit with a little loop. The Ahekapelle loop is mostly on wide paths, hardly any trails, but we enjoyed the full sun 🌞🌞. And since my husband was there, we couldn't complain about a lack of …
