Rest Area at Heuloch

Highlight • Rest Area

At a fork in the road near Birgel and Lissendorf is this beautiful break area with table and bench, bike stand and information board. In good weather, a wonderful break place with all-round views.

The old water mill is not only a real eye-catcher, but also offers an excellent opportunity for a refreshment break or is suitable for a day stop with an overnight stay. The Kyllradweg from Losheim to Birgel is great to ride. From Losheim to Jünkerath it's all along the route, then the cycle path becomes a bit more varied on different surfaces.

Historic Watermill Birgel

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic watermill is highly recommended. It consists of various mills, a grain mill, an oil mill, a mustard mill and a sawmill. There is also a distillery and a bakery where delicious fresh bread is baked every day.
The restaurant is quaint and the cuisine is top notch. Always worth a visit, even with children.
