    Just beautiful. The visit is certainly not only worthwhile in good weather. But always think of good shoes.

      The "Eifel-Blicke" are an initiative of the German-Belgian Nature Park
      and from Rureifel-Tourism e. V.. There are particularly beautiful vantage points in the Eifel.
      (There are over 60 of them and if the Komoot team doesn't delete them again, I'll try to collect them all!)
      As the name suggests, this Eifel view is located above the Rur in the Effelsley area at an altitude of 275 meters above sea level. This group of rocks stretches for about a kilometer in length and consists of numerous rocks tightly lined up. In the northern area there are several smaller rocks hidden in the forest, to the south there are mighty rock towers and walls.
      In a south-west to north-west direction, you have a view of the northern foothills of the Eifel National Park, the middle Rur valley and beyond to the Rur Eifel plateau.

        This Eifel view Effelsdach is, as the name suggests, above the Rur in the Effelsley area at a height of 275 meters above sea level. This group of rocks extends for about a kilometer and consists of numerous, closely spaced rocks. In the northern area there are several smaller rocks hidden in the forest, to the south of them there are mighty rock towers and walls.

        In a southwest to northwest direction you have a view of the northern foothills of the Eifel National Park, into the middle Rur valley and beyond to the plateau of the Rureifel.
