Vennbahn: points of interests
The Vennbahn is one of Europe’s longest and most unique cycle paths, stretching approximately 125 kilometres through Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Built on a former railway line, it offers a flat and accessible route ideal for cyclists, walkers, and nature enthusiasts. The trail meanders through the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes) scenic landscapes, quaint villages, and lush forests, blending nature with history. Known for its quirky border crossings, the Vennbahn briefly crosses into Germany while remaining Belgian territory, creating a fascinating geographical curiosity. It's a peaceful journey through a historically rich and picturesque region.
