    Wenn man von Gerolstein mit dem Zug nach Blankenheim fährt und dort auf dem Ahr-Radweg flussabwärts fährt, bekommt man mit dem Kalkeifel-Radweg eine sehr schöne Strecke von 55 Kilometer zurück nach Gerolstein. Die nicht asphaltierten Abschnitte sind gut zu fahren. Das Profil ist sehr abwechslungsreich, an der Ahr und dem Ahbach schattige Passagen, ab Kerpen kommt man auf offenes Gelände mit weiten Ausblicken. Das Letzte Stück von Bolsdorf entlang der Kyll ist ebenfalls sehr idyllisch, da man weitestgehend abseits von Straßen unterwegs ist.

    eine wirklich traumhafte Tour mit vielen Highlights und stets tollen Aussichten/Weitsichten, so dass auch die ein oder andere Länge/Asphalteinheit zu verschmerzen ist. Wir haben an zwei Stellen variiert (Foto Sonnenbank auf dem Gipfel/mittiger Pfad über den Hügel, anstelle südliche Umrundung-absolut lohnenswert!, sowie zum Schluss hin an der Mühle einen Pfad hoch zum Parkplatz am Sportheim-zusätzliche, wenige Meter)

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, teilweise durch wenig befahrene kleine Straßen. Nur die Einstufung als Leicht würde ich überdenken. Es gibt zwei oder drei Serpentinen die ich einem Anfänger nicht empfehlen würde.

    Wunderbarer Wanderweg. Besonders am Anfang bei den Höhlen., Richtig schön. Der Rest des Weges ist etwas unspektakulär.

    Sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg. Highlights sind die Burg Kerpen und natürlich der Vulkan Arensberg, aber auch rund um den Weinberg hat man eine tolle Aussicht auf die Landschaft der Vulkaneifel.
