Victor-Neels Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge, named after the last Belgian commander, Victor Neels, fits very well into the landscape. At the end you can expect a 16 percent gradient up to Vogelsang.

Urft Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

No matter what time of year, the journey is worth it. Unfortunately, you can also clearly see the forest dieback. Lots of slopes that need to be cleared.

November 24, 2024,Burg Vogelsang - Rund um Urft- und Obersee von Gemünd

At the end of November, warm air from the south once again swept into North Rhine-Westphalia. A good opportunity to take the mountain bikes out into the Eifel again. The snow from the cold days had not yet completely disappeared and a lot of meltwater ran over the paths, so we got really dirty. Sometimes it felt like I was …

First day in the Vulkaneifel. We went to Vogelsang Castle and back again.
We had some single trails and forest paths. It was fun.
The pictures give you a closer look.
Have fun looking at the pictures 🙂

Hello everyone 🙂

My first bike trip to the Eifel. Beautiful!! ☀️
I have absolutely nothing to complain about today.

Great arrival without traffic jams, I was able to get to the vacation apartment early and thus get an early start to the region's sights.

In the best weather today we did the first tour with over 20 participants in the Eifel...we started from our accommodation, the Schleiden/Gemünd youth hostel. The first tour took us to Vogelsang Castle...fantastic views from up there...there were some tough climbs...let's see what tomorrow brings 😊😉

What a ride. I wouldn't just follow it, as there are some tough sections where I had to push the bike. I had to use the push assist three times. Otherwise, a truly wonderful ride for long stretches.
