The Kyll cycle path is still closed between Phillipsheim and Speicher Mühle… :-(

The former narrow-gauge railway line between Philippsheim and Binsfeld offers the gentlest ascent from the Kyll Valley towards Wittlich, with a gradient of approximately 3%. Currently, the cycle path leads from Binsfeld via Arenrath to Bruch. The gap between Bruch and Dreis is in the planning stages. Once completed, there will be a continuous connection from the Kyll Valley to Wittlich, and a link to the Wittlich Basin cycle path in Dreis.

Crossing the stream is very dangerous. I fell and broke my femoral neck because of the missing railing. Now, there's a huge detour, with a considerable elevation gain, to avoid this hazard. Unfortunately, no one feels responsible for reinstalling the railing that was removed after the storm. It's a real shame. The Kyll Valley Cycle Path is increasingly losing popularity.

2025: Many detours add a lot of elevation gain. The railway line is undergoing major renovations, and the railway is blocking the trails. I still enjoyed it, but it was considerably more strenuous than expected. Apparently, flooding is more frequent, which is why some short sections of the trail are permanently in poor condition. But the majority of the trail is in top-notch paved condition.

There are still some small construction sites due to the railway expansion. No problem by bike.
