    This is a great place to let off steam if you underestimate the Voreifel. This section is certainly challenging.

      This is a hard part, get prepared for a hard climb!

        I doubt whether this climb is 'beautiful'. But it's there, and when you reach the top in Eicherscheid, it's doubly beautiful. First, Eicherscheid is beautiful, and second, it's nice to be at the top. Pictures? No time for that.

            Picturesque place on the Rur, with serpentines towards Eischerscheid.

              The upper Rur valley is stunningly beautiful.
