RouteXpert Review After about an hour of riding, during which you can fully enjoy the first challenging bends and breathtaking views, the first break is planned. This is a lunch stop in Heimbach with a choice of various restaurants. An ideal opportunity to recover and replenish your energy, especially since many motorcyclists will probably have already completed a long ride before they start this route. Heimbach is a charming, historic town located deep in the Eifel. It is known for its idyllic location on the Rur river and is surrounded by forests and hills. The town has a rustic, almost fairytale appearance, with traditional half-timbered houses, cozy streets and a relaxed atmosphere.
With a full belly and renewed energy, the adventure continues. The landscape becomes more hilly and the roads more technical. This is where the driving skills of every motorcyclist come into their own. On the way, you will pass Mariawald Abbey, an impressive Trappist monastery located in the middle of nature. This is an excellent place to stretch your legs and take in the serene surroundings and enjoy the peace that this historic location exudes. Mariawald Abbey was founded in the 15th century and exudes a serene and spiritual atmosphere that invites reflection and relaxation. The abbey is known for its homemade products, such as Trappist beer, liqueurs and cheese, which are available on site. These artisanal products are popular with visitors and form a unique memory of your visit.
After about 2.5 hours of driving, you will reach a historical highlight of the route: Ordensburg Vogelsang. This former training camp from the Second World War not only offers a glimpse into history, but also a beautiful view of the surrounding valleys. For €12 you can visit the grounds and the associated exhibitions. This makes it a stop that is both interesting and impressive.
From Vogelsang, the route continues towards the picturesque town of Einruhr, where a coffee stop is planned. This village, on the banks of the Obersee, an offshoot of the Rursee, is a popular destination due to its picturesque location and cozy, friendly atmosphere. For motorcyclists, Einruhr offers a relaxing coffee stop with a view of the water, which is a soothing moment during the ride. The rest of the route lets you enjoy the best that the Eifel has to offer once again. You ride through varied landscapes, including dense forests, vast fields and breathtaking viewpoints. Some sections of the route contain technically challenging bends, which can surprise even experienced motorcyclists. It requires focus and precision, but the reward is great: a ride you will never forget.
One of the last stops is at Biker Ranch, a popular meeting place for bikers. Here you can exchange experiences with other bikers while enjoying a cup of coffee or a drink. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere makes this place a favorite among biker culture enthusiasts.
With only 20 kilometers to go, you ride back to the starting point, the gas station near Aachen. Here you can fill up your bike again and prepare for the return trip home.
This route offers a perfect balance between challenging motorcycling, impressive sights and moments of peace. It is a route like you would hope to ride in the Eifel: full of variety, adventure and beauty. A must for every motorcyclist looking for an unforgettable day on the road!

North Rhine-Westphalia
About this region
North Rhine-Westphalia (German: Nordrhein-Westfalen, pronounced [ˌnɔʁtʁaɪn vɛstˈfaːlən] (listen); Low Franconian: Noordrien-Wesfale; Low German: Noordrhien-Westfalen; Colognian: Noodrhing-Wäßßfaale), commonly shortened to NRW (German: [ɛnʔɛʁˈveː] (listen)), is a German state (Land) in Western Germany. With more than 17.9 million inhabitants, it is the most populous state of Germany. Covering an area of 34,084 square kilometres (13,160 sq mi), it is the fourth-largest German state by size. Apart from the city-states, it is also the most densely populated state in Germany.
North Rhine-Westphalia features 30 of the 81 German municipalities with over 100,000 inhabitants, including Cologne (over 1 million), the state capital Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Essen (all about 600,000 inhabitants) and other cities predominantly located in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, the largest urban area in Germany and the third-largest on the European continent. The location of the Rhine-Ruhr at the heart of the European Blue Banana makes it well connected to other major European cities and metropolitan areas like the Randstad, the Flemish Diamond and the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Region.
North Rhine-Westphalia was established in 1946 after World War II from the Prussian provinces of Westphalia and the northern part of Rhine Province (North Rhine), and the Free State of Lippe by the British military administration in Allied-occupied Germany and became a state of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949. The city of Bonn served as the federal capital until the reunification of Germany in 1990 and as the seat of government until 1999.
Culturally, North Rhine-Westphalia is not a uniform area; there are significant differences, especially in traditional customs, between the Rhineland region on the one hand and the regions of Westphalia and Lippe on the other. The state has always been Germany's powerhouse with the largest economy among the German states by GDP figures.

Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes in the Eifel
The Eifel is the eastern part of the medium plateau Eifel-Ardennes. It is located north of the Moselle and west of the Rhine. The largest part is in Germany, a small part is in Belgium, in the East Cantons. The German part of Eifel is located in the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The highest point is the Hohe Acht with 747 meters.
Several chains can be distinguished in the Eifel:
The northernmost part is called the Nordeifel, which in Belgium connects to the High Fens;
To the east of this is the Ahrgebirge, this part is located north of the Ahr in the Ahrweiler district;
South of the Ahr is the Hohe Eifel (or Hocheifel), of which the Hohe Acht (747 m) is the highest point, and also the highest point in the entire Eifel region;
To the west, near the Belgian border, the hills are known as Schneifel, part of the wider Snow Eifel area with peaks reaching up to 698 metres;
South and east of the Hohe Eifel is the Volcano-Eifel, a volcanic area with many crater lakes (Maare).
The southern part of the Eifel is less high. The area is bisected by streams and rivers running southwards. These streams flow into the Moselle. The largest of these rivers is the Kyll; the hills around this river are known as the Kyllwald;
In the south, the Eifel ends in the Voreifel.
In the north of the Eifel there are some large reservoirs. The largest of these is the reservoir in the Roer that was created by the construction of the Roerdal dam.
The Nürburgring is also located in the Eifel, a well-known car circuit for Formula 1 races, among other things. Since 2004, part of the north of the Eifel has become the Eifel National Park. This National Park falls entirely within the German-Belgian nature park High Fens-Eifel. Another part of the Eifel falls within the South Eifel Nature Park.
Well-known throughout the Netherlands and Belgium by car and motorcyclists, so reason enough for the MyRoute app RouteXpert to compile a Top 5 of Car and Motorbike routes for you.
