Hiking

Very nice climb to the Ehrensteinley.
An easy mountain hiking trail, beautifully rocky and criss-crossed with roots!
From the Ehrensteinley you have a beautiful view over the Rurhöhen and the valley.

Hiking

For those who come from the very wild Rur Valley section, the ascent to the lookout point on the Ehrensteinley is worthwhile. Or vice versa, those who come from the Ehrensteinley should definitely descend to the Rur, which has created a spectacular valley here, right up to the fisherman's hut and Reichenstein monastery.

Hiking

The ascent to Ehrensteinsley is quite strenuous, especially in summer, but very easy to do. If you have made the ascent, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view!
