Hiking

Nestled in a beautiful landscape, the Urft meanders through the forest and meadow areas of the northern Eifel. With the start of the hiking trail at Blankenheim-Wald station, a hiking trail begins that is both a natural experience and a journey through time into history.

Hiking

Even the tracks of the railway line from Cologne to Trier are nicely embedded in the Urft valley.

There are currently no trains running through the valley due to the 2021 flood.
