Description

From Kaisersesch via the medieval Pyrmont Castle to the Maifeld cycle path.


Another section of the Eifel slate cycle trail runs for approx. 17 kilometers over the heights of the Eifel. Starting in Kaisersesch, the route leads past the Roman tower via Hambuch, Zettingen, Kaifenheim, Brachtendorf to the Swan Church near Roes. The route leads along a beautiful, slightly hilly natural landscape and provides a connection to the cycle paths to the Maifeld and the Moselle.

From Roes, the route leads via the Pyrmont farms to the medieval Pyrmont Castle. From here, the cycle path runs uphill parallel to the K 35 to Pillig. On this ride from the castle to Pillig, there are gradients of 6-10% to contend with.

From Pillig, the cycle path leads along the L110 to Naunheim. From here, you have the option of cycling along a beautifully laid out cycle path - on a former railroad line - in the direction of Mayen, Ochtendung or Münstermaifeld.

    Half-timbered village Monreal

    Monreal
    Open today

    The narrow streets of Monreal, its quaint Holy Trinity Church, the massive Nepomuk Bridge over the clear flowing Elzbach and the ruins of Löwenburg and Philippsburg castles high above the town are a perfect destination for an excursion in the eastern Eifel. The red and white half-timbered houses nestle closely together in the former cloth-making town. Not only visually is Monreal an excursion destination that relaxes the soul. Café Plüsch with its cosy interior or the former signal box at the gates of the town are perfect addresses for foodies. The highlight for lovers of handicrafts is the pottery in the old school. Hikers get their money's worth on the Monrealer Ritterschlag hiking trail and are rewarded for the sometimes steep passages with wonderful views.
