Bicycle Vacation: Erft-Radweg, Germany

The Erft-Radweg is an easy bicycling route over the foothills of the Eifel Mountains, from the soucre of the Erft river near the atmospheric spa Bad Münstereifel to where it empties in the Rhine at Neuss, one of the oldest cities in Germany. Or in the opposite direction. Downstream are monasteries and waterforts with moats filled with Erft water. On the way, Museum Insel Hombroich offers art indoors and outside. 27 photos.
