Dechentunnel (Kyll Cycle Path)

In the summer, when temperatures are high, it's a very pleasant place to cool off. You should use your bike lights and be considerate of others when riding through.

Dechentunnel on the Kyll Valley Cycle Path

Highlight • Structure

I drove the route from Trier to Erdorf yesterday. The section from Ehrang to Kordel has become free again and is very beautiful, the blockage at the Kuckuckslay railway tunnel has been lifted. From Kordel you have to switch to the Daufenbacher side; from here it goes on to Kyllburg. The trains run between Trier and Kyllburg, it does not go any further due to construction sites due to flood damage.

Repaired Bridge Over the Kyll River

Highlight • Bridge

During the night of the floods between July 14th and 15th, 2021, the rivers Kyll and Urft burst their banks in such a way that significant parts of the Eifel route were damaged or destroyed. This resulted in flooding of railway facilities, landslides and embankments as well as undermining of the tracks, which led to the damage or destruction of tracks, stations and other infrastructure. In Gerolstein, Philippsheim and Kordel, railcars were also stuck in the floods. The train service between Hürth-Kalscheuren and Trier-Ehrang had since stopped.

Kyll Cycle Path along the railway line near the Weiherwiese St. Thomas

Highlight • Cycleway

The Kylltal Cycle Path (also called the Kyll Cycle Path)[2] is a 120 km long cycle path that largely runs parallel to the Kyll. It connects the source of the Kyll near Losheimergraben on the German-Belgian border with the confluence with the Moselle near Trier-Ehrang and the Roman city of Trier just a few kilometers away.
