Three valleys in a short distance - Wide views over the Maifeld - Fertile landscape

After starting at the Mosel, a narrow road leads through the Schrumpftal, accompanied by a small stream that leisurely winds through the forested valley. Along the way, you'll pass old mills with small meadow clearings. The detour from Pillig into the Elzbachtal offers a "wild" contrast. A short, very steep section leads to the waterfall at the Pyrmonter Mill, a popular excursion destination. The special feature of this route is the connection from the valleys to the wide expanse of the Maifeld. While riding over the gently rolling hills of the Eifel, the collegiate church of Münstermaifeld forms an impressive landmark. A sightseeing break should definitely be planned here; the bike route runs directly through the old town of Münstermaifeld. Smaller villages such as Mörz, Metternich, or Pillig also invite a relaxed break.
