Kylltal-Radweg Etappe 2: Gerolstein - Philippsheim

Stage 2 of the Kylltal cycle path: "Sizzling springs and mysterious sagas". At the start of this sportier stage, which leads from Gerolstein to Bitburg-Erdorf, a refreshing sip from the Helenenquelle is a good choice. At Birresborn, the route has a first highlight: the adventure loop around Kopp leads to the 200-year-old pines "Adam and Eve" and the ice and millstone caves. It is said that the caves used to be used as “natural refrigerators”, as they can sometimes be cold until spring. Back on the bike path, we continue to Bertradaburg in the Eifel village of Mürlenbach. According to tradition, the great-grandmother of Charlemagne is considered to be the founder of the castle, and he himself was born there. A stone's throw from medieval Kyllburg, wood paneling, paintings and old furniture tell exciting stories from the past centuries at Malberg Castle, which was built in Venetian Baroque style. In Bitburg-Erdorf you have reached the stage destination. It is worth visiting Bitburg, 5 km away, where there are many restaurants and leisure opportunities. Highlights: - Well town of Gerolstein: Löwenburg, Villa Sarabodis, former moated castle Lissingen - Ice and millstone caves in Birresborn - Kyllburg
