Uiteraard kan elk hotel\/appartement\/onderkomen als een basecamp dienen, maar sommige plekken zijn net even beter dan andere. Monschau is een ideaal basecamp als je gaat fietsen in de Eifel. Alle voorzieningen aanwezig, goede infrastructuur en je bent ook nog eens zo op de pek waar je echt wilt zijn. Het ligt wat aan de westkant van het Eifelgebied maar in de buurt heb je dus wel de mooie routes te pakken. Enige nadeel: de Hohe Acht, een van Duitsland&#8217;s mooiste en zwaarste klimmetjes ligt wel op de rand van het bereik. Een ritje heen en weer is 160km plus over flink heuvelachtig terrein. Maar dan pak je wel de mooiste berg met een waanzinnig uitzicht mee. 747meter hoogte en stukken van 18 tot 27%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"1943\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/eifelblick.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/eifelblick.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/eifelblick-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/eifelblick-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hohe Acht (c) Eifel Turismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"mycols-embed-col\"><p lang=\"nl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/nl\/beklimming\/hohe-acht-adenau\" target=\"_blank\">Hohe Acht<\/a>, Adenau, Duitsland<\/p>&bull; Afstand: 5.5 km, Hoogteverschil: 295 m, Gemiddelde helling: 5.4 %<\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/js\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kasseien\">Kasseien<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanuit Monschau kun je verschillende routes pakken en omdat het een beetje ingeklemd tussen heuvels zit, gaat het al vrij snel weer omhoog van het pittoreske centrum. Als je denkt, ik ben er klaar voor, begin dan vooral met de Eschbachstrasse. De (Vlaamse) Ardennen liefhebber zal zijn hart ophalen want het is hier gelijk op kasseien omhoog! Die gaat over in de Imgenbroich, een klim die in totaal twee kilometer lang is met 118 hoogtemeters. Toch al 6% en dat om mee te beginnen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wil je wat rustiger beginnen, dan pak je bijvoorbeeld de lange klim richting Eupen, die in 5.3 kilometer slechts 3,8% gemiddeld telt. Dan ben je toch wat makkelijker warm aan het worden. Nadeel: dan ben je wel gelijk weer in Belgi\u00eb en dat is juist waarom we NIET naar Monschau en de Eifel willen. Enfin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" data-id=\"1950\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/die-radtour-eifel-hoehen-route-fuehrt-am-rursee-entlang-1024x410.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/die-radtour-eifel-hoehen-route-fuehrt-am-rursee-entlang-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/die-radtour-eifel-hoehen-route-fuehrt-am-rursee-entlang-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/die-radtour-eifel-hoehen-route-fuehrt-am-rursee-entlang-768x308.webp 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/die-radtour-eifel-hoehen-route-fuehrt-am-rursee-entlang-1536x615.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/die-radtour-eifel-hoehen-route-fuehrt-am-rursee-entlang.webp 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vergezichten bij Urft (c) Eifel Turismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"auf-geht-s\">Auf geht&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voor een mooi stuk fietsen ga je uiteindelijk meer richting het noorden, naar het hart van het &#8216;National Park Eifel&#8217;. Hier kom je de rivier de Ruhr tegen (die uiteindelijk in Roermond terechtkomt) en je hebt er verschillende (schitterende) stuwdammen die meertjes vormen, zoals bij de Urfttalsperre. Dit is heen en terug een ritje van 50 kilometer met een paar honderd hoogtemeters. Uiteraard is er ook de optie om via allerlei secundaire wegen een rondje rondom het meer te doen. Heuvelop, heuvelafwaarts. Genieten!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Als je enkel heen en weer wilt zijn er eindeloze mogelijkheden voor een mooie terugrit vanaf de Talsperre. Pak bijvoorbeeld vanuit Rurberg de Kesternich, waar je bijna 6 kilometer aan 4% omhoog kunt gaan. Dezelfde klim vanuit Einruhr plakt er nog 500 meter en 0,2% extra percentage aan vast. Leuk hoor! En als je dan toch goed bezig bent pak je richting Monschau nog de Grunentalstrasse mee, die je in 2 kilometer met 9.6% naar &#8216;grotere hoogten&#8217; brengt. Letterlijk en figuurlijk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"1952\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rauschendes-wasser-in-monschau-kalterherberg-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rauschendes-wasser-in-monschau-kalterherberg-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rauschendes-wasser-in-monschau-kalterherberg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rauschendes-wasser-in-monschau-kalterherberg-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rauschendes-wasser-in-monschau-kalterherberg.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Monschau en omgeving: water + bruggetjes (c) Eifel-Turismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"go-north-south-oude-spoorbaan\">Go North\/South &#8211; Oude spoorbaan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deze tip moeten we hier wel even droppen. Want hoe vet is het als je over oude spoorbanen kunt fietsen? daar zijn in heel Europa voorbeelden van, maar zo dicht bij huis zie je dat niet echt. De start (of eindpunt?) van deze route is in Aken, net over de grens. Je hebt dan 128km (!) aan route over\/langs de oude spoorverbinding die eigenlijk de grens volgt van Belgi\u00eb, Duitsland en later ook Luxemburg. Verwacht hier geen wilde stijgingspercentages (daar houden treinen immers ook niet van),  maar wel toffe vergezichten en bruggetjes, tunneltjes. De hele mik-mak die je bij zo&#8217;n route langs een oude transport ader mag verwachten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"411\" data-id=\"1954\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ein-hoehepunkt-der-radroute-das-reichensteiner-viadukt-der-vennbahn-1024x411.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ein-hoehepunkt-der-radroute-das-reichensteiner-viadukt-der-vennbahn-1024x411.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ein-hoehepunkt-der-radroute-das-reichensteiner-viadukt-der-vennbahn-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ein-hoehepunkt-der-radroute-das-reichensteiner-viadukt-der-vennbahn-768x308.webp 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ein-hoehepunkt-der-radroute-das-reichensteiner-viadukt-der-vennbahn-1536x616.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ein-hoehepunkt-der-radroute-das-reichensteiner-viadukt-der-vennbahn.webp 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(c) Eifel Tourismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanuit Monschau zit je ongeveer halverwege op deze route en als je &#8216;m zuidelijk pakt duik je eigenlijk direct het (Duitstalige) gedeelte van Belgi\u00eb in om uiteindelijk in het noordelijke puntje van Luxemburg uit te komen. Naar het noorden toe pak je dan de route richting Aken en blijf je voornamelijk in Duitsland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ook in het oosten en verder naar het zuidoosten heeft deze regio schitterende beklimmingen en routes.
