Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. On royal command, he was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River and drowned. His statue can still be found on or near many bridges today – here in the town of Blankenheim, twice in close proximity to the source of the Ahr River. He is considered not only a popular "bridge saint" but is also the patron saint of the seal of confession. In many depictions of him, he holds a cross in one hand, and with the other, he sometimes places a finger on his lips as a sign of silence (about what was heard during confession). The feast day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is on March 20th.

"John of Nepomuk or John of Pomuk (Latin: Joannes de Pomuk, Czech: Jan Nepomucký or Jan z Pomuka, * c. 1350 in Pomuk near Pilsen; † March 20, 1393 in Prague) was a Bohemian priest and martyr. He was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1729 and is considered the "bridge saint" and patron of the seal of confession. Along with crosses and depictions of the Virgin Mary, sculptures of Saint Nepomuk are the most commonly found Christian stone figures outside of church buildings in the open countryside in Catholic areas of southern Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, and Austria. Statues of the saint are often found on or next to bridges. The most famous of these, created by Johann Brokoff in 1683, is located on Prague's Charles Bridge at the spot where the saint was thrown into the Vltava River. " https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Nepomuk "... John of Nepomuk lived from about 1350 to 1393. He died as punishment by being thrown from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava River and drowned. As a bridge saint, his statue stands on many bridges in Europe. ..." 👉 Life and work of John of Nepomuk and further information: https://www.erzbistum-koeln.de/presse_und_medien/magazin/Johannes-Nepomuk-der-Brueckenheilige

This is the entire Vennbahn route from Troisvierges to Aachen. Pure relaxation on the bike, or, from a sporting perspective, ideal for strength training. The route is completely safe, with virtually no car traffic, smooth asphalt, pure nature, few settlements, and rest areas with or without restaurants. Rustic shelters are also available if it gets wet.
