Start at the old Raeren station near the Vennbahn cycle path. It goes directly over a few winding trails before you shortly cross the tracks and dive deep into the forest at the marble works. Shortly after, the route crosses itself, and you ride the western loop counterclockwise. A flowing descent leads to the Iterbach. In the immediate vicinity of the Vennbahn, you ride over rooty and natural paths. Later, you go uphill on asphalt to reach the next root path along the Steinbach. The path through the forest is still characterized by rooty and rocky sections. The finale is a flowing singletrail that ends directly at the station café in Raeren.
Author’s recommendation
The station café Raeren is located in a converted wagon. You can relax wonderfully on the terrace.
