Hiking

Here on the outskirts of Schmidt you have a fabulous view of the Rursee and the surrounding mountains. Even in today's rainy weather, it is terrific.

Hiking

The Rureifel geographically includes the towns of Nideggen, Heimbach, Schleiden and Monschau as well as the communities of Simmerath, Hürtgenwald, Kreuzau and Hellenthal and is therefore a sub-area of the West Eifel. It is well known as a holiday region and day trip destination with the second largest dam in Germany, the Rur Dam Schwammenauel and the Eifel National Park and the North Eifel Nature Park.
