Loop
A beautiful single trail. The route leads over the Milky Way directly past the Effelsberg radio telescope and offers very nice perspectives on this imposing structure. Furthermore, the route from Burgsahr leads over a narrow asphalt road via Winnen to Häselingen, this section and also the following section in the direction of Freisheim are certainly highlights in the beautiful Eifel. Otherwise, the round leads over asphalt farm roads and beautiful "forest highways", which are gravel roads, but can be driven smoothly with the cyclocross, if in doubt you can of course also drive the route with the MTB.
