History and delights of the Southern Eifel.
The start and finish of the exploratory tours into the natural and cultural history of the Southern Eifel is the beer town of Bitburg. If you would like to find out how the world-famous Bitburger Premium Pils is made from hops and malt, you should register for a guided tour of the brewery with tasting in the Bitburger Erlebniswelt. Otherwise, the first cycle tour also offers insights into the home of these exquisite ingredients. The challenging and varied route along the small rivers Nims and Prüm and the Bitburg reservoir leads past numerous hop fields.
On the following cycling excursion days, the region shows that it has many more delights to offer, which can be sampled in the inns, cafés and farm stores along the routes. The history of the Southern Eifel can still be experienced up close in many places - for example in the idyllic Eifel villages with centuries-old farms, churches, vicarages or village squares - with impressive detours to the 700-year-old moated castle of Rittersdorfor the 2000 year oldVilla Otrang.
All rallies lead along a well-developed network of cycle paths, many of which run along former railroad lines. The practical pocket guide is the perfect tour companion, with GPX data to show you the way.
When you arrive at your destination in Bitburg in the evening, your hosts will be waiting for you with a culinary pampering program.
Be sure to plan ahead:
