Itinerary description
Part 1/2 of the Vennbahn cycle path between Aachen (Germany) and Troisviérges (Luxembourg), to the sleepover in Robertville (Belgium).
I was on a mountain bike and after reaching the Guesthouse I did an extension to the Reinhardstein Castle, which was fine (and worth it !), except for the fact that I decided to go a bit further onto terrain that is not suitable even for mountain bikes (Then had to carry it uphill on shoulder).
ATTENTION: LAST 5 KM, AFTER THE CASTLE, ARE NOT BIKEABLE ( ie, you can go to the castle without a problem, but do not try to descend to the waterfalls / cascades on the walking path after that... it is difficult and dangerous, both going down to the river as going up to the dam ).
ATENCIÓN: ¡LOS ÚLTIMOS 5 KM, DESPUES DEL CASTILLO, NO SON CICLABLES, NO LOS HAGAS!
ACHTUNG: LETZTE 5 KM (NACH DEM SCHLOSS) SIND NICHT FAHRBAR, TUN SIE ES NICHT !!
ATTENTION: LES DERNIERS 5KM, DEPUIS LE CHATEU, NE SONT PAS CYCLABLES. NE LE FAITES PAS !!

Bom dia,
Dá para fazer com bicicleta de estrada?
Obrigado
Olá.
Eu não o faria (pelo menos com pneus < 30 mm), mas se bem me recordo o percurso é praticamente todo pavimentado. Depende do tipo de pedais que leve e da sua perícia com pequenos obstáculos e/ou piso molhado. Eu como estava numa polivalente sou capaz de ter feito umas pequenas incursões em empredrados e/ou terra (lembro-me em Monschau, ao regressar à ciclovia, por exemplo).
Se seguir para o Luxemburgo, aí sim lembro-me perfeitamente que havia algumas (poucas) secções ainda em terra.
Boas pedaladas.
Ok, obrigado !
Vou montar uns pneus de Ravel
