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

The Urfttal between Schmidtheim, Blankenheimerdorf and Nettersheim is characterized by a great variety of landscapes and proximity to nature. Here you can find rare species of butterflies and rare birds such as the kingfisher, dipper and gray wagtail.
The Urfttal is certainly one of the most beautiful sections of the 6th stage of the Rhine-Venn Trail.

Hiking

Attention: currently (beginning of May 2020) there is a diversion for all hiking trails on this section due to a wind break, which is however very well signposted. (see photo)
