    Connecting route from Eupen to Raeren with a connection to the Vennbahn. Mostly an easy route with occasional small, moderate inclines. The last section to the former station area in Raeren is also slightly uphill.

    Start at Eupen station from where you can conveniently follow the signs "RAVeL L48 Vennbahn." The first kilometers lead through new housing developments towards Kettenis. You will pass the church in the village center and later the charming Thal castle. After crossing the still intact railway line between Eupen and Raeren, a small ascent leads into the district "Am Busch." From here, you mostly travel on a quiet road between the forest edge and green meadows. You will repeatedly pass small farms. In Raeren, continue through Neudorf towards the old station area. The last 300 meters are slightly uphill.
