Kreis Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Eifel villages, Hürtgenwald

Twelve kilometres through Eifel forest and villages, climbing over 300 metres with 24 junctions.

From the hamlet of Simonskall the route climbs out of the valley, through village streets and back into the woods: 1,030 buildings, nearly 20,000 trees and bends down to a five-metre radius. The elevation is North Rhine-Westphalia's 1-metre terrain model.
