RouteXpert Review The departure is from The Rusty Bike in Neumagen Dhron. A new name for many, but the administrators have been around for a while. Until a few years ago, the current managers (Toets and Angela) were the owners of Motorhotel Am Tunnel in Altenahr. Which could no longer be saved due to the terrible flood in 2021 and unfortunately has been demolished. After some wanderings, Toets and Angela ended up in beautiful Germany again, just south of the Moselle.
Unlike many other routes, you don't have to leave with a full tank this time, after about 100 km you can refuel in Luxembourg!
You turn left from the hotel. You don't have time to warm up much and soon you get the first hairpins on the other side of the Moselle at Piesport. Even though you're just on the road, you're taken off your motorcycle to enjoy the view after all the bends at the parking lot.
You cross the extreme part of the Eifel and cross the ridge at Schweich. After another combination of hairpin bends, you have already arrived in Auw, where you can enjoy coffee at the Altes Pfarrerhaus.
After coffee, continue west and cross the Prüm River. Rivers and hills, as here, have beautiful side effects for motorcyclists: bends, bends, bends. You continue towards Luxembourg and just after the border you can refuel cheaply. After the fuel stop it is 800 meters until lunch at Restaurant Petry in Vianden. Besides Petry there are other very good restaurants in Vianden.
After lunch you drive through picturesque Vianden and you are almost obliged to get off at the parking lot, just above Vianden, and take a picture of the well-known castle Vianden. It may sound monotonous, but after 5 km you have the opportunity to take beautiful pictures again. This time you have to climb a tower, but it is definitely worth it.
You don't stay long in Luxembourg, it was also more of a cheap trip. As soon as you're back in Germany, the bends are already waiting for you with anticipation, each one even more fun and beautiful than the other. The route moves north of Bitburg, mainly known for its beer. After you have had the opportunity to see the excavations of a Roman villa, it is already time to strengthen the inner man. It is a great place to stay at Gasthaus Turman and the staff is happy to assist you.
You make another retreat towards the Moselle. Here too, the drive towards the river provides beautiful curves, beautiful views and, which is characteristic of this area, many old ruins of castles and fortresses.
Although the title refers to the Eifel, it is a shame if you ignore the Hunsrück. That's why you make another double pendulum. First you cross the Moselle at Mülheim an der Mosel, after which you can drive drunk again over the coming hairpins. Before Kommen, turn left back to the Moselle, where you can catch your breath at restaurant Weisser Bär on the Moselle.
After the coffee break you drive along the Moselle to Bernkastel-Kues. Turn right into the tunnel and after the tunnel, spit in your hands for a while and via Longkamp and Bald Wildstein find out that you are back at the Moselle in Taben-Trarbach. Just straighten your eyes, from all that swinging. You drive up the hill again on the Hunsrück. You have now completed 15 km of bends and you merge onto the B237. In Morbach, if necessary, you can refuel and relax, the last 30 km predict only curves! You could send Toets and Angela an app that they can put the beer cold in half an hour.
After a crazy ride with hardly any straights you turn into the yard of The Rusty Bike. You take off your helmet and try to wipe that grin from ear to ear, but barely succeed. And it certainly doesn't work if there is a freshly tapped beer ready for you. You flatter yourself and while, with your eyes closed, you take a first sip of a golden yellow rascal, you think: pooh yes, this was another real MRA cornering ride

Luxembourg
About this region
Luxembourg ( (listen) LUK-səm-burg; Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg [ˈlətsəbuəɕ] (listen); French: Luxembourg; German: Luxemburg), officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a landlocked country in Western Europe. It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is one of the four official capitals of the European Union (together with Brussels, Frankfurt, and Strasbourg) and the seat of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the highest judicial authority in the EU. Its culture, people, and languages are highly intertwined with its neighbors, making it a mixture of French and German cultures. Luxembourgish is the only national language of the country and is also considered to be the only language of the Luxembourgish people. However, in addition to Luxembourgish, both French and German are used in administrative and judicial matters, making all 3 of them the administrative languages of Luxembourg.With an area of 2,586 square kilometers (998 sq mi), it is one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe. In 2019, Luxembourg had a population of 626,108, which makes it one of the least-populous countries in Europe, but by far the one with the highest population growth rate. Foreigners account for nearly half of Luxembourg's population. As a representative democracy with a constitutional monarch, it is headed by Grand Duke Henri and is the world's only remaining sovereign grand duchy. Luxembourg is a developed country, with an advanced economy and one of the world's highest GDP (PPP) per capita. The City of Luxembourg, with its old quarters and fortifications, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 due to the exceptional preservation of the vast fortifications and the old city.The history of Luxembourg is considered to begin in 963, when count Siegfried acquired a rocky promontory and its Roman-era fortifications known as Lucilinburhuc, "little castle", and the surrounding area from the Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin in nearby Trier. Siegfried's descendants increased their territory through marriage, war and vassal relations. At the end of the 13th century, the counts of Luxembourg reigned over a considerable territory. In 1308, Count of Luxembourg Henry VII became King of the Germans and later Holy Roman Emperor. The House of Luxembourg produced four emperors during the High Middle Ages. In 1354, Charles IV elevated the county to the Duchy of Luxembourg. The duchy eventually became part of the Burgundian Circle and then one of the Seventeen Provinces of the Habsburg Netherlands.
Over the centuries, the City and Fortress of Luxembourg, of great strategic importance situated between the Kingdom of France and the Habsburg territories, was gradually built up to be one of the most reputed fortifications in Europe. After belonging to both the France of Louis XIV and the Austria of Maria Theresa, Luxembourg became part of the First French Republic and Empire under Napoleon.The present-day state of Luxembourg first emerged at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The Grand Duchy, with its powerful fortress, became an independent state under the personal possession of William I of the Netherlands with a Prussian garrison to guard the city against another invasion from France. In 1839, following the turmoil of the Belgian Revolution, the purely French-speaking part of Luxembourg was ceded to Belgium and the Luxembourgish-speaking part (except the Arelerland, the area around Arlon) became what is the present state of Luxembourg.Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union, OECD, United Nations, NATO, and Benelux. The city of Luxembourg, which is the country's capital and largest city, is the seat of several institutions and agencies of the EU. Luxembourg served on the United Nations Security Council for the years 2013 and 2014, which was a first in the country's history. As of 2020, Luxembourg citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 187 countries and territories, ranking the Luxembourgish passport fifth in the world, tied with Denmark and Spain.
