Lovely day riding via Vaals (highest point in Holland) and Aachen. Then onto the Venn Bahn to Monchau, 83km. 500m elevation with a 2% incline, rather easy to cope with. The Venn Bahn runs from Aachen to Trousvierges in Luxembourg , 125km of fascinating landscapes, border country atmosphere, history and never knowing which language they speak! Turns out that the Venn Bahn itself is actually Belgium property and it runs through Germany! This has created 4 enclaves (see picture) with the cycle path on Belgium property and on either side of you Germany! That is just weird!

Campsite was on a very pretty location but they charged a lot for everything in the shop so the pizza in the end was better value then cooking something ourselves. €41 for the campsite.Read more
