For those who are interested, the tour I had planned with Komoot, unfortunately, the paths here and there are relatively difficult to drive and for me, although I'm not spoiled in this regard, already violent. 2 sections were mega steep and paths are twice lost, there was only bog or marshland, as helped only reverse and look for another way, but this also had its charm. Scenic it was impressive what our home has to offer. For the e-bikers among you, with a rechargeable battery, it is even with any recharge at a stop for. B., a challenge, it would have been too much for me, with second battery and proper calf use, I had to run properly. It makes sense to approach the tour in pairs, in places it is already really lonely in the woods. Although I am well equipped, now never drive without replacement hose, tools, dry jacket, first-aid package, a little food and drinks, breakdown spray and light, etc., alone is the backpack then including second battery but also really heavy. Couple can split something. At this time of year, the effort is well worth it, you will be rewarded with plenty of nature.

The Perlenbach Dam is located near Monschau in the Aachen district of North Rhine-Westphalia. It serves to supply drinking water to the Perlenbach Water Supply Association and generate hydroelectric power. Completed in 1956, it dams the Perlenbach stream.
