Route Summary
I drove this route in 2014. We had rented a house for 4 days in Deudesfeld, in the Vulkaneifel, near Daun. This route goes through the Vulkaneifel and Luxembourg
with many beautiful winding roads. You pass enough villages and towns where you can stop to pause for a drink or something to eat or to see something.
Along the way you also see many castles and other historic buildings. We are rather culture barbarians so we do not stop everywhere, it is mainly about driving.
This route of almost 370km was made in Basecamp (Here) for a Garmin 660 and is now also suitable for TomTom and MRA

RouteXpert Review
About three to four hours drive from Utrecht (via the highway) is one of the most beautiful areas to tour in Germany, the Eifel. The Eifel offers beautiful roads through beautiful varied landscapes of forests, rolling meadows and farmlands interspersed by picturesque villages and towns. The asphalt is generally of very good quality. You will also find many castles, castles and reservoirs.
This route starts in Deudesfeld, a village in the German Eifel, but for a large part runs through Luxembourg and even a small part through Belgium. The total ride is 370 km so you are on the road all day.
The winding roads of Luxembourg lend themselves well for a weekend away by motorbike or car.
Popular destinations in the Luxembourg Ardennes are Beaufort, Vianden, Echternach, Berdorf and Larochette, some of which are also on the route. Nature is beautiful in Luxembourg and there are many historic sites, such as castles and castles, so plenty to see on the way.
One of the popular areas is the Müllerthal which is characterized by large and often erratic rocks, fairy-like forests. The many hairpin bends and the beautiful nature between the rocks make the area a popular destination for a weekend of motorcycling.

Hunsrück
About this region
The Hunsrück (German pronunciation: [ˈhʊnsʁʏk]) is a long, triangular, pronounced upland in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is bounded by the valleys of the Moselle-Saar (north-to-west), the Nahe (south), and the Rhine (east). It is continued by the Taunus mountains, past the Rhine and by the Eifel past the Moselle. To the south of the Nahe is a lower, hilly country forming the near bulk of the Palatinate region and all of the, smaller, Saarland. Below its north-east corner is Koblenz.
As the Hunsrück proceeds east it acquires north-south width and three notable gaps in its southern ridges. In this zone are multi-branch headwaters including the Simmerbach ending at Simmertal on the southern edge. This interior is therefore rarely higher than 450 metres (1,480 ft) above sea level. Peaks and escarpments are principally: the (Black Forest) Hochwald, the Idar Forest, the Soonwald, and the Bingen Forest. The highest mountain is the Erbeskopf (816 m; 2,677 ft), towards the region's south-west.
Notable towns are Simmern, Kirchberg, and Idar-Oberstein, Kastellaun, and Morbach. Frankfurt-Hahn Airport is at the centre of the upland, equidistant between Mainz, Trier and Koblenz, co-named after the village of Hahn.
Slate is still mined in the mountains. Since 2010, the region has become one of Germany's major onshore wind power regions. Large wind farms are near Ellern and Kirchberg. Nature-based tourism is widespread. In 2015, a new national park was inaugurated. The pedestrian Geierlay suspension bridge opened in the same year. The climate sees mists that rise most mornings. More rain than the German average is caused by a combination of an oceanic influence and relief precipitation.
Culturally, the region is best known for its Hunsrückisch dialect and through depictions in the Heimat film series. The region saw great emigration in the mid-19th century, particularly to Brazil.
