Route Summary The route takes you through rural South Limburg directly to the beautiful landscape of the Voerstreek, after which you will visit the Hoge Venen Nature Park. So you will actually dive into the nature reserves quite quickly.
The route is a giveaway and also suitable for the novice rider, although the experienced rider will not be bored on this route on the way to a super deluxe hotel where it is very pleasant to stay....
(Tasty) food for everyone, and that is why this route is definitely worth a 5-star rating!

RouteXpert Review Burgbrohl, the destination of our journey, is located in the Western Eifel area on the border of the Hoch-Eifel with the Ahrgebirge, almost against the Rhine and the Westerwald. That makes this journey very interesting because you cut through the entire Eifel mountain range on your way there.
This route starts in Hasselt on a spacious parking lot where it is good and safe to meet. If necessary, you can even meet indoors if the weather conditions are bad.
The route takes you briefly on the motorway towards Bilzen where you pass Alden Biezen, an impressive Limburg castle where many events are organised. The pleasantly rolling landscape of South Limburg then takes you towards the Voerstreek, another gem in the Flemish crown. The area is indeed located in Wallonia, but is and remains Flemish territory. Very illogical, but then again that is typically Belgian...
We will make a very long story very short by saying that - if you know the Flemish-Walloon contradictions a little - the Voerstreek is a region about which a lot of ink (and blood) has been spilled in the Flemish-Walloon struggle. This struggle is still raging, although today it is more in the political arena. But still just as bitter.....
Finally... the passage through the Voerstreek leads via the High Fens to the Eifel area and actually it comes down to the fact that the largest part of this route runs through beautiful nature reserves. More information about this you will certainly find in the attached links.
The Eifel is a magnificent area. If you also take into account that it is a small but real mountain area through which the high-quality German asphalt roads run, then I don't think I need to draw a picture. It should be clear that the Eifel is rightly and rightly a very popular area with (and not only) motorcyclists.
This route is indeed an approach route to the Eifel but the route itself is also worth 'the journey'. This route gives every type of rider their pleasure despite this approach typing. Technically it is nice and easy to do for the beginner while the experienced hand in the trade will certainly not be bored. There are enough twists, nicely alternated with wonderful stretches and beautiful views through the various nature reserves. Enough variety on this route and something for everyone!
The hotel upon arrival is a super-deluxe hotel where all the luxury is provided for the more spoiled rider. So even after arrival it continues to be enjoyable, although the puritanical rider will turn his nose up at this. No problem, the garden is big enough for his tent...

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.
