Nice tour on a former railway line on the Eifel-Ardennes cycle path. Nicely paved, well signposted, hardly any inclines. And a beautiful landscape along streams with numerous biotopes, beaver reservoirs, original river/stream landscape. In Pronsfeld, relics and information from the railway past have been lovingly brought together.
