Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful tour through the Eifel, easy to ride, almost entirely paved, except for a few small sections that could only be managed on foot.

Nice climbs and even nicer descents 😉It's fun when the road is good, just let it roll without braking 🙈
And the highlight, the waterfall, was worth it.
