Hiking

The Erft is a left tributary of the Rhine. Its source rises below the Himberg near Nettersheim-Holzmülheim. The course of the Erft leads through the communities and towns of Nettersheim, Bad Münstereifel, Euskirchen, Weilerswist, Erftstadt, Kerpen, Bergheim, Bedburg, Grevenbroich and Neuss before it flows into the Rhine at Neuss-Grimlinghausen after 103.5 kilometers of river stretch.

Hiking

The bridge over the Erft is severely damaged and actually closed (as of Spring 2026). Unfortunately, the EifelSpur “Kräuterpfad” leads exactly over this bridge, and there is no alternative river crossing nearby without deviating too far from the route. So: take courage and balance over the rotten structure… 🫤
