Πολύ καλή κοιλάδα για πεζοπορία και ποδηλασία. Τα μονοπάτια οδηγούν σε όλα τα χωριά. Μπορείτε να φτάσετε στο Nettersheim, Blankenheim, Tondorf κ.λπ. χωρίς προβλήματα από εδώ. Όλα τα μονοπάτια είναι στρωμένα. Άσφαλτος ή χαλίκι.

The Genfbach Valley is located in the Eifel region on the so-called Nettersheim-Marmagen Plateau and is a region of particular ecological importance. Its name comes from the Genfbach, a stream approximately ten kilometers long that rises above Blankenheim and meanders largely naturally through the landscape until it finally flows into the Urft River in Nettersheim. Large parts of the Genfbach Valley, particularly the section southeast of Nettersheim, are protected and designated as a protected area of European importance. This is due to the biotope and species diversity still typical of a low mountain range. It features species-rich wet meadows, near-natural stream floodplains, limestone marshes, and alder-ash forests. These habitats provide shelter for a rich variety of wildlife, including rare bird species such as the whinchat, kingfisher, and meadow pipit. Larger mammals such as the wildcat also use the valley as an important migration corridor. The botanical diversity is equally remarkable, with rare plants such as broad-leaved marsh orchid, devil's claw, and, in large numbers, wood cranesbill thriving in the colorful valley meadows. In the heart of the Genfbach Valley, approximately halfway between the source and mouth, lies the historic Ahe Chapel. Dedicated to Bishop Saint Servatius, the chapel was built around 1330. It is the only remaining building from the lost village of Ahe and boasts a long tradition as a place of pilgrimage. Inside the chapel is a 15th-century wooden statue of Saint Servatius. Every year on May 13, the saint's feast day, a procession takes place to the chapel. For hikers, the Genfbach Valley is accessible via several hiking trails, such as the Eifel Loop Ahe Chapel, offering a varied route through expansive meadows and picturesque forests.

A very beautiful, idyllic stream valley. This is the perfect place for a relaxing hike.

The Perlenbach Valley is a worthwhile destination, especially when the daffodils are in bloom in early or mid-April.

It's just great here for children. The narrow, rooty paths along the stream are great fun for them. There's a lot to discover here and plenty of places to take a break.

The daffodils in the Perlenbach and Fuhrtsbach valleys are heavily advertised by the city of Monschau. It is recommended to start in Höfen at the nature park gate. However, you have to walk 4 km from there and still haven't seen any daffodils. We started in Alzen at the "Zum Brüchelchen" car park and did the "Big Narcissus Circular Trail" with 11.5 km. The really beautiful daffodil meadows can be found here on the southern stage. If you want to take a shorter route here, you should start at the "Gut Heistert" car park on the "Paradies im Perlenbachtal" circular route, which is 3.6 km long.

Nice hike. Highly recommended in April for the daffodils in bloom.
