Border-crossing railroad line cycle route from Aaachen to Troisvierges.
This is one of the longest railroad line cycle paths in Europe and runs through three countries - Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. The cycle path runs along the former railroad line between Aachen and Troisvierges. Most of the route is asphalted. Through St. Vith, the cycle path runs away from the railroad line on roads with little traffic. The scenery is definitely worth it. Overnight accommodation along the route is somewhat sparse.
