The bridge, named after the last Belgian commander, Victor Neels, fits very well into the landscape. At the end you can expect a 16 percent gradient up to Vogelsang.

Hiking

The Victor Neels bridge is a really worth seeing steel suspension bridge with four ropes, which spans the Urftsee in the Eifel National Park since 2009. The bridge is named after Victor Neels, who was commander of the Belgian forces in the 70s.

Hiking

If you cross the Victor Neels Bridge to continue your hike to the former Nazi Ordensburg Vogelsang, you should first refresh yourself with a sip from your water bottle. The following climb is 600 meters long and has a gradient of 16 percent.
