Relaxed travel through natural and cultural landscapes
A variety of paths for individual experiences
The Eifel slows you down. If you are out and about by bike, you can experience the region not only in terms of landscape, but also at your own pace - relaxed on old railroad lines, along meandering river courses or with sweeping views across volcanic landscapes. The well-developed network of cycle paths can be flexibly combined and offers numerous opportunities to discover the Eifel in your own way.

The air is clear, the path silent - only the steady hum of the tires accompanies you. Between dense forests, lively rivers and open mountain ranges, the railroad track routes lead you through the tranquil expanse of the Eifel. What was once built for trains is now a gift for anyone who wants to experience nature while cycling.
Here you cycle far away from traffic, through old tunnels with history and over elegant viaducts with a view. The gentle gradients (less than 2.5 percent) and almost continuously asphalt-covered cycle paths make cycling pleasantly easy - whether for a day trip or a journey lasting several days. These cycle paths promise relaxed cycling fun, especially for families with children and for leisure and pleasure cyclists.
Whether under the rustling canopy of leaves along the maars in the Volcanic Eifel, through the rocky worlds of the Southern Eifel Nature Park or with a view of the green valleys of East Belgium and Luxembourg - every kilometer tells a story. And if you take a closer look, you will discover open-air works of art along the way, restored railroad stations as resting places and information boards that make the past tangible.
Simply "let the touring bike roll" or discover something new on an e-bike - the numerous cycle paths in the natural landscape of the Eifel offer plenty of space for this. You can explore short cycle paths or sections of longer cycle paths in one day. Looking for an insider tip? Take a look at the GPS cycle tours - these are not signposted, but you follow the GPS track. And a relaxing break is also provided: a stop-off at the restaurants, farm stores and excursion destinations rounds off the cycling experience.
Travel comfortably on old railroad lines There are more cycle paths on disused railroad lines in the Eifel than in almost any other region in Germany. These cycle tours are almost flat, far away from road traffic - ideal if you want to travel comfortably and safely. Viaducts and tunnels bear witness to the history of the railroad and make every tour a special experience.
Relaxed cycling along the rivers River cycle routes such as those along the Rur, Ahr or Kyll offer you almost gradient-free cycling pleasure - in the middle of the low mountain range. You cycle through green valleys, past picturesque streams, small villages and beautiful rest stops. These cycle paths are ideal for enjoyable day or weekend tours.
Experience stories on themed cycle paths If you want to find out more about the Eifel, the themed cycle paths are just right for you. They tell you stories from distant galaxies to the formation of extraordinary landscapes - right along the way. Information boards or apps provide you with background information without interrupting the rhythm of your ride.
Discovery tours via GPS In addition to the signposted cycle paths, the Eifel also offers numerous GPS tours that you can only find digitally. These unmarked routes take you off the beaten track to special places.
Sporting challenges Are you looking for more challenging tours away from the classic cycle paths? Then the mountain bike, gravel and road bike routes are right for you.
Plan and combine individually In the Eifel, you will find a uniquely dense network of cycle paths. The routes are varied and can be easily combined with each other. This means you can plan your tour according to your own ideas - whether as a day trip or a multi-day voyage of discovery. The region offers you a good infrastructure with bike hire, e-bike charging stations and bike-friendly accommodation.
When your pulse beats in time with the pedals and the scent of the forest fills the air, the real mountain bike adventure begins - in the middle of the Eifel.
Rocky passages, flowing trails and tranquil lakes make every tour unique. Sometimes challenging, sometimes relaxed - always intense. And at the end? A cool drink in the evening sun. Nature, exercise, freedom - and a grin on your face.
Road bike enjoyment on over 1,500 kilometers - the Radarena am Ring. In the spectacular landscape around the Nürburgring, you will find the "racing bike arena": an extensive network of routes with over 50 racing bike tours.
