The cycle path creates the easiest connection from the Vulkaneifel to the Moselle because it runs entirely on the former railway line from Daun to Lieser. It is the ideal and convenient route for getting to know the Vulkaneifel, with a variety of viaducts, bridges and tunnels. The RegioRadler »Maare-Mosel-Bus« is ready for the return transport from the Moselle to the heights!Characteristics. Flat, completely paved route on a former railway line (Daun-Lieser) with gradients of 2.5 percent on average; rarely on roads with little traffic, therefore very good for families with children.
