    The connecting route from Schönberg towards Our valley / Steinebrück with connection to the RAVeL cycle path network in East Belgium is a beautiful stage of about 10 kilometers length. The route leads away from road traffic through a splendid forest and meadow landscape with views of the Our valley. A visit to the village of Schönberg is definitely worthwhile, as visitors can enjoy not only a low mountain landscape with lots of nature but also numerous leisure activities such as minigolf, a leisure center for tourists, Nordic walking, a Lourdes grotto, and two inviting cafés with terraces. For guests in the holiday resort Schönberg, this extension offers an attractive opportunity for a bike trip to St.Vith or Burg-Reuland via the Vennbahn.

    Author’s recommendation

    In Schönberg there are very attractive leisure and dining options as well as an excellently equipped bike shop.

    Safety information

    The connection from Schönberg is not a flat stage. Over the hill of Klein Bohlscheid, climbs and descents of up to 20% have to be mastered in both directions. Be especially careful on the descent through the forest coming from Steinebrück.

    Roadbook

    The start is in the holiday resort Schönberg. From there, it goes along the Our towards Amelscheid. Before the path leads uphill, it continues to the right along the Our towards the Klein Bohlscheid forest area. Once in the forest, the route remains relatively flat. At about the height of Atzerath, the path climbs steeply over the forest trail (short climbs of 20% and 15%) and later descends steeply again with a small S-curve down into the Our valley.

    Just behind the village of Setz, the cycle path meets the Our valley route again towards Steinebrück. From now on, the path follows the lightly trafficked country road along the border river Our between Setz and Steinebrück with the idyllic villages of Rödgen, Alfersteg, and Weppeler. Shortly before Steinebrück, the road meets the connection to the Eifel-Ardennes cycle route towards Bleialf and Prüm. Via a small connecting section over the former border crossing Steinebrück and under the motorway bridge, there is direct access to the Ravel cycle path network towards St.Vith or Burg Reuland. The route is, of course, signposted in both directions.
