Tips
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.

The bridge swings, so it is not necessarily suitable for people with fear of heights. On one side the path leads to the Urft dam, on the other to Vogelsang. Both are hiking destinations that are worthwhile.

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.
