The bridge, named after the last Belgian commander, Victor Neels, fits very well into the landscape. At the end you can expect a 16 percent gradient up to Vogelsang.

With the construction of the Rurtalsperre 1934-1938 and its expansion 1955-1959, a large part of the old Woffelsbach in the Rursee disappeared. At the same time, tourism in Woffelsbach began, …

June 9, 2024,Vogelsang-Rursee-Urftsee-Runde oder "Panorama meets Beine"-Tour

I rode our tour today alone due to a defect on Kettin's bike - fortunately the defect was at the beginning of the tour, before we would have tackled the descent - a blessing in disguise. Tomorrow we'll pass Koblenz and can remedy the situation!
After the steep descent from Vogelsang into the Rur valley, I rode along the streets/cycle …

Very nice round around the Ruursee, started in the best cycling weather and ended in the thickest thunderstorm and rain. My Garmin was switched off by the rain but noticed it, switched it on again and the route was divided. A part of the route is missing so that I came to a total distance of 67.6 km and 1500 …

The round starts at the tourist information center at Rursee in Rurberg. Always on the Ruruferradweg it goes from Rurberg to Woffelsbach, past the St. Wendelinus Chapel, always with a view of the Rursee. On the Ruruferradweg from Woffelsbach to Schwammenauel, you will pass some sailboat landing stages. Over the dam in Schwammenaul it goes along the southern bank of …

The holiday is over, let's enjoy the pictures again.
Made a ride in the beautiful Eifel, around the Rursee, with my son. Around the lake there are fewer altimeters than is possible further up the hills, although we still had several steep climbs.
