For history lovers, there are numerous sights such as Eltz Castle or the Belginum Archaeological Park. Cultural highlights can be found in the form of music festivals and art exhibitions in nearby Cochem or Koblenz.

Tolle Runde, landschaftlich sehr schön. Bis auf die Abschnitte auf den Bundesstraßen waren wir an einem Samstag bei tollem Wetter ziemlich allein unterwegs. Zum Rasen sind die Straßen im übrigen völlig ungeeignet, da oftmals ziemlich schmal mit Gegenverkehr, für unsere Vespa aber prima. Wenn man Zeit genug einplant sollte man sich die Maare anschauen. Teilweise ist Baden erlaubt. Wir mochten das Pulvermaar. An der Ahr gibt es auch viele nette Örtchen zum Verweilen. Allen voran natürlich Ahrweiler und Altenahr. Auch den Nürgburgring könnte man näher erkunden. Alles in allem hat die Runde uns super gefallen. Dankeschön.

Schöne Tour und viele Kurven. Typisch Eifel eben. Ein Waldorf liegt bei mir um die Ecke, deshalb war es endlich mal Zeit die Tour zu fahren.

Wir haben am 22.6.22 die Eifel Tour Marienburg gemacht und sind sehr begeistert. Startpunkt in Mayen, Vormittags noch auf leeren Straßen an der Mosel vorbei. Die Moselschleife haben wir geschlabbert, die kennen wir schon. Am Ring eine zusätzliche Pause gemacht, den Rennfahren zugeschaut. GvLG die Globetrottel
