In the Northern Eifel, you'll find unspoiled nature, a beautiful landscape, breathtaking views and an awesome mix of relaxed enjoyment and sporty challenges. And all this is only a stone's throw away from cities like Cologne and Aachen, as well as all of the hustle and bustle of the Ruhr area. This, then, makes Northern Eifel the perfect destination for an adventurous weekend away—a weekend full of biking action set amongst an idyllic landscape where nature can still be nature.
In this Collection, we bring you that perfect adventurous weekend. We bring you two days to swap stress for singletracks and to get lost in the great outdoors. And if you can't afford to spend the whole weekend here, you can also choose any of the individual rides for a great day out on the bike. If you do have the time, however, and are able to spend two, three or even four days in Northern Eifel, we suggest making Hürtgenwald-Simonskall your base camp for the trip. The small community in the middle of the beautiful Hürtgenwald not only offers various inns to stay overnight, but with its new mountain bike park Hürtgenwald is the new bike epicenter of the Northern Eifel. From here, we have selected three great rides that will reveal to you all the secrets of the region, including epic cultural and natural must-sees. In fact, more than 2,000 rare animal and plant species live in the Eifel National Park around Lake Rursee, which means there's plenty to discover however long your trip!
The journey to the Eifel is also quite an easy one. If you plan to arrive by car, you can drive directly to Hürtgenwald. If you fancy an extra portion of adventure, we have a special suggestion for you: The first ride of this Collection starts at Düren train station and takes you along the finest trails to Hürtgenwald. Düren is almost perfectly connected by train and allows you to make a car-free journey—one in which daily stresses are truly left behind the moment you leave your front door.
Whichever variant you choose, fun on the bike is guaranteed! And thanks to the ever-flowing nature and the extent of the trails, every type of rider will have a great time in Northern Eifel.

Questo tour inizia direttamente alla stazione ferroviaria di Düren. Da qui in un attimo sei su splendidi sentieri - dopotutto, Düren non è chiamata per niente la "Porta dell'Eifel". Attraverso la foresta di Meroder, in cui si passano le rovine del monastero di Schwarzenbroich, ci si dirige verso la Wehebachtalsperre…

Questo tour è piuttosto impegnativo e ti terrà occupato per alcune ore. Ma non preoccuparti: ovviamente, tutte le sfide sono solo le migliori. Si inizia attraverso la Kalltal fino a Simmerath, il punto più alto del tour e una buona prima occasione per una breve pausa.
Da qui si va avanti. Un meraviglioso…

Il breve giro del Rursee è molto più breve e con meno metri di dislivello, ma non è meno bello: lungo il lato del sentiero vi aspettano tutti i tipi di attrazioni paesaggistiche e culturali da scoprire.
Ad esempio, ci sono i Kaiserfelsen, un'impressionante collezione di pilastri di arenaria che formano…
