Simply right through nature...
What can become of a railway track when no train runs anymore is shown by the Ruwer-Hochwald Cycle Path. Where from 1889 for about 80 years and sometimes longer, trains rolled from Trier through the valley of the Ruwer to Hermeskeil, a recreational paradise for cyclists, skaters, and hikers has emerged with the Ruwer-Hochwald Cycle Path.
On the 48 km long tour from Trier-Ruwer through the Ruwertal, over Kell am See, to Hermeskeil, the route follows the former railway line and showcases the beautiful landscape of the region from a perspective that could only be enjoyed from the train window in the past.
The great advantage: Where the tracks were, it is mostly flat, and today it is particularly family-friendly with gentle inclines along the Ruwer through vineyards, meadows, and forests as well as idyllic Ruwer and Hochwald villages - simply right through nature.
Those who want to avoid the gentle ascent from Trier to Hermeskeil have the option to use the cyclist bus for this stage during the main season.
