Extending over 125 km, the Vennbahn is Europe's longest cross-border cycle path on a former railway line. It stretches between two points where three countries meet and runs across East Belgium from Aachen through the matchless high moorland region of the Hohes-Venn-Eifel nature reserve to Troisvierges in Luxembourg.
