May 16, 2024,Von Kalterherberg nach Einruhr und zurück

Despite the very bad weather forecast, I got on my bike today. Actually, it was more of a necessity, because I needed new reading glasses and they were only available in a drugstore in Imgenbroich.
The weather held up and so I decided to cycle from there to Einruhr. What a tour - really fantastic. It only got threatening towards …

Beautiful bike ride on great bike paths through a beautiful natural landscape. You hardly meet anyone here. But there are plenty of them in beautiful Monschau. 😉.
It feels like you are driving 10 km downhill on the tour. The only major incline is between Monschau and Höfen. But it drives very well.
A really very nice tour. Relaxed end …

April 9, 2025,Radtour zur Narzissenblüte im Fuhrtsbachtal

As always, the review: adjusted elevation gain = 550 meters

We started on the main road (B266) that runs past Einruhr. There are parking spaces near the village that allow parking with a trailer!
From there, we continued through Erlensruhr through the forest past the Rothen Kreuz (Red Cross) towards Höfen. After reaching the highest point of the tour on …

August 26, 2023,Monschau - Höfen - Erkensruhr - Einruhr -Monschau

The start and finish is the Eierbachtal dam below Monschau. Only partially suitable for city bikes, as the route partly leads over coarser gravel. Otherwise a very nice tour, my recommendation.
