Head up to Troisverges. Find the Venn Bahn. Follow it all the way to Aachen. Max grade is 2%.

That looks really cool - thanks!
So just head out northwards on some minor roads and don't worry too much about where you end up.
Yep, that's my kind of touring, sounds good!
OK time for a brief ride report.
Luxembourg is uninteresting, expensive, wet, the food is crap and the beer is worse. The Venn Bahn is cool (and there are a load of other similar long distance cycle paths scattered around) with good tarmac most of the way. There is a bit missing near the southern end, and for some reason I managed 2,000 m of climbing on the day that included the 125 km of the Venn Bahn. It has a beautifully long slow descent right into the centre of Aachen where most of the roads take a steep dive.
The cycle paths are amazingly well-maintained and equally amazingly under-used. But there's virtually nothing of note in the whole area. Normally I come back with several hundred photographs, this time barely two dozen and most of those are of the rain. "Four countries in four days" is the only redeeming element.
