    Hiking

    On its 27.9 km long path, the Olef overcomes a height difference of 335 m, which corresponds to an average bed gradient of 12 ‰. It drains an area of 196.073 km² (Wikipedia)

    On its 27.9 km long way from the source on the Ramscheider Höhe to the confluence with the Urft near Gemünd, the Olef overcomes a difference in altitude of 335 m. Here in Hellenthal it quickly picks up again after filling its dam (at least 20 million cubic meters) Momentum on. Due to its numerous curves, there are many bridges with beautiful views of this small mountain river.

    Hiking

    In Hellenthal, the Olef feeds the dam named after it before it flows through Schleiden towards Gemünd, where it flows into the Urft.
