    Ein Radweg, der - insbesondere zwischen Kyllburg und Trier, aber vielfach auch in seinen anderen Abschnitten - im besten Sinne entlegen ist: Zuweilen lässt sich ein Zug hören (falls die Bahnstrecke nicht gerade teils oder ganz gesperrt ist), zuweilen ein Auto in einem der Dörfer, die der Weg passiert, zuweilen, wenn es länger geregnet hat, die Kyll selber. Ansonsten tönt die Stille in dem Flusstal, das ab Gerolstein teils weiter, teils enger umschlossen ist von waldreichen Höhen. Doch das Sonnenlicht bricht sich zuverlässig Bahn. Und wenn es, im Blick von jener Höhe aus, die der Radweg bei Wilsecker erklimmt, Kyllburg und Umgebung leuchten lässt, kann auch die einzige Autobahn, die in der Nähe des Radwegs liegt, der Stille nichts anhaben, bereichert sie vielmehr.

    Wir sind mit dem Zug von Trier-Ehrang bis Gerolstein gefahren und dann auf dem Kylltalradweg zurück geradelt. Die ersten km führen entlang der Straße (nicht so schön), später ist es dann deutlich ruhiger, mit vielen einsamen Abschnitten. Fast immer die Kyll im Blick scheint dieser Radweg noch ein Geheimtipp zu sein. Es waren nur wenige Radler unterwegs. Ein großer Vorteil ist die parallel verlaufende Bahnstrecke, die es jederzeit ermöglicht, zum Ausgangspunkt zurückzukehren. Die Brücke bei der Deimlinger Mühle existiert seit dem Hochwasser 2021 nicht mehr. Hier muss man bis kurz vor Kordel entlang der L43 fahren. Das ist in der o.g. Beschreibung nicht berücksichtigt.
