    Tips

    May 2, 2022

    Beautiful, elevated view of the Urttalsperre, the oldest dam in the Eifel and a popular destination. The dam wall was the largest structure in Europe at the time, has a length of 266 m and a height of 59 m. There is a nice excursion restaurant at the dam wall, which you can reach by boat, bus, car, bike or on foot. The Urftsee is also a very beautiful hiking area with a great path along the shore, which always offers a beautiful view of the Ordensburg Vogelsang.

      Nice view of the former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang and the Urfttalsperre.

        From the cafe you have a clear view of Vogelsang IP
