Westerwald Straßen
Of Romans, legends, the Rhine and the wine
The Westerwald with its enchanted landscapes is the scene of a variety of legends, myths and legends. Often these have a historical background, be it colonization by the Celts or the wars of Sweden. Some legends, for example about the work of the devil, bear witness to the deeply rooted Christian-religious world view and other stories can be traced back to the living conditions of the social strata of the time. In misty brook valleys, on windy heights and in dark mine tunnels, even today mysterious creatures are said to be up to mischief. With a little imagination, shadows turn into fabulous creatures like the Tholm or the Muhkalb at dusk. Those who are attentive, discover clues to hidden treasures, whoever drives carelessly, might catch the nasty little fellow ...

The route starts near Rösrath. From there we cross the victory and land directly in the Westerwald.
Technically you can look forward to the Sayntal. A really nice piece of road for our motorcycles.
The Sayntal begins shortly after waypoint 18. At the end of the Saytal you pass a small motorcycle club, Isenburg. More information can be found in the following link.

Do not eat too much in the Isenburg, because it goes on through the beautiful Westerwald to a small ski and hiking hut on route point 22. Here are great cakes but also hearty. The view is great!
Please check the opening times with the following link. Sometimes companies take place here.

From here you continue down to the Rhine. On the way to the Rhine ferry you pass an old watchtower of the Roman Limes (route point 25). It is worth to look at it once.

You take the ferry and land in the volcanic Eifel.
A relic from the time of fire and ice is the Laacher See.

Directly at the Laacher lake is the Benediktinier Abbey Maria Laach. For those who like "old stones", a stay here is a must. (Route point 30)

Now continue and you can culturally educate yourself after the beautiful roads of the Eifel.
The excavation of an old Roman villa can be visited at waypoint 35. You will receive more information about the villa in the following link.

And who wants to end the tour neatly after all the curves and Romans, which is in good hands at waypoint 36 in the ostrich farm "Im Burggarten". At least the Sozia can enjoy a delicious wine from the growing region here.

At the end of the tour there is still a great view at waypoint 36.
Here you can make great photos of the Ahr Valley.
I wish you a lot of fun on the tour!

About this region
Rhineland-Palatinate (German: Rheinland-Pfalz, [ˈʁaɪ̯nlant ˈp͡falt͡s] (listen)) is a western state of Germany. It covers 19,846 km2 (7,663 sq mi) and has about 4.05 million residents. It is the ninth largest and sixth most populous of the sixteen states. Mainz is the capital and largest city. Other cities are Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Koblenz, Trier, Kaiserslautern and Worms. It is bordered by North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse and by the countries France, Luxembourg and Belgium.
Rhineland-Palatinate was established in 1946 after World War II, from parts of the former states of Prussia (part of its Rhineland province), Hesse and Bavaria (its former outlying Palatinate kreis or district), by the French military administration in Allied-occupied Germany. Rhineland-Palatinate became part of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 and shared the country's only border with the Saar Protectorate until the latter was returned to German control in 1957. Rhineland-Palatinate's natural and cultural heritage includes the extensive Palatinate winegrowing region, picturesque landscapes, and many castles and palaces.

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.
All routes in this collection have been checked and made equal for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation by a MyRoute-app RouteXpert.
If you think, I have a very nice route that should certainly not be missing from this collection, send it to:
email: routeexpert@myrouteapp.com
Subject: New Route for the Top 5 collection Eifel composed by Hans van de Ven.
The route will then be reviewed and then added to the Top 5. To make the Top 5 also the Top 5, 1 route will have to disappear from the Top 5, you can indicate this when submitting the new route.
Have fun with this collection and while driving one of these routes. Enjoy all the beauty that the Eifel has to offer. Click on “View route” to read the review of the chosen route.
