Mineralquellen-Route, Cycling path in Eifel region, Germany
The Mineralquellen-Route is a 24-kilometer cycling path that winds through the Eifel mountains and links two major cycling routes together. The trail uses a mix of asphalt, paved roads, and forest paths.
The path follows a watershed that has served as a natural boundary and transport route for centuries between two major river systems. This geographic location shaped where settlements grew and how the region developed.
The route passes through Dreis-Brück, where mineral springs have shaped local life for generations. Signs of these natural resources appear throughout the area and reflect the region's identity.
The path is marked throughout with cycling symbols and is easy to follow in both directions. Good footwear is recommended since the ground surface and steepness vary depending on the section.
The route connects cycling paths that would otherwise be far apart and require lengthy detours to reach each other across a narrow geographic area. This practical link enables long bike tours through the region that would not be feasible otherwise.
