Swisttal Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice well-kept rest area. Unfortunately, you shouldn't expect ironed asphalt on the Swist route, but you will be rewarded by the landscape...

The Swist rises in the northern Eifel and flows through the Rhineland towards the Erft. Here in the Swist lowlands between the Voreifel and Ville you can take relaxed bike tours and enjoy beautiful views.

Rosa Mystica Chapel Buschhoven

Highlight • Religious Site

A little too high near Buschhoven with a great view of the plain through which the Romans used to pass. It's only a short distance from there to the water pipe and the forest has great paths!
