From the old station in Waimes, the Vennbahn leads past lush green and gently rolling hills. An ideal place for horse paddocks, which can be admired at Wolfsbusch. Towards Montenau, the scent of freshly smoked Ardennes ham drifts towards you. In Born, the route passes under the impressive Freiherr-von-Korff viaduct and continues into the lively small town of St. Vith. In the local history museum "Between Venn and Schneifel," you can immerse yourself in the eventful past of the Vennbahn.
Author’s recommendation
The ham smokehouse in Montenau and the museum "Between Venn and Schneifel" in St. Vith.
