Mountain biking & cycling

The Hocheifel is an absolute paradise for sporty and ambitious cyclists, since the constant change between challenging ascents and hair-raising descents as well as the variety in the different stretches of the route can seriously be termed breathtaking in every sense of the word.

The Vulkan-Rad-Route Eifel (67 km) starts at Dümpelfeld and takes you through the 1,000-year old town of Adenau up to Nürburgring.

Rhineland-Palatinate has a phenomenal selection of castles and fortresses in the valleys of the Middle Rhine (World Heritage Site) and the Mosel, which are often in extremely picturesque locations. One of the best known castles is Burg Eltz.
