Start at Lontzen Castle near the church. The first singletrail is a beautiful sunken lane, which leads you to the Busch district. Quiet side streets and gravel paths alternate with short trail sections. In the Göhltal you bypass two small lakes and the paths take you through forest and meadows. In Walhorn, you pass the first of two impressive quarries along the route. On longer gravel roads you can enjoy the views on both sides. The last meadow trail ends again in a rocky, steep sunken lane, which takes you back to Lontzen Castle.
Author’s recommendation
You can take a relaxed break in the flower village of Hergenrath.
