Interesting bike tour in the Eifel National Park, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The first kilometers are on the old tank road at Vogelsang IP. Then it's off to Belgium. There the Elsenborg camp is circumnavigated on dirt roads. Alternatively, there is also the possibility to drive through the camp on armored roads or gravel sections. You should definitely pay attention to the signs at the entrances to the camp, on which the times of target practice are published. It continues a few kilometers along the "Vennbahn Cycle Path". This is left at about KM 50. Then the gravel passages begin, which give way more and more to the asphalt over the years. On the way you will find numerous rest stops and beautiful nature.
Highlights:
- Vogelsang IP
- Elsenborg camp
