Cycle on railway tracks
In Leykaul, you can hop on a draisine with your family and friends and cycle along the tracks of the former Vennbahn railway line. In groups of 2 to 4 people, you can discover the unique landscape of the High Fens along the way. The journey takes about 2 hours and takes place at fixed starting times. At the starting point, there is also a former railway carriage that has been converted into a waffle stand - and what could be better than rewarding yourself with a good Belgian waffle after your Railbike ride?
