A special treasure of the Eifel National Park is the open land on the Dreiborn plateau. Here there are grasses, broom, hawthorn bushes and many animal species that need exactly that. The endangered skylark, for example, lives and breeds in the open landscape. That is why it is so important that we humans only move on the marked paths and do not disturb the breeding sites of the sensitive species off the paths 🐣. Over time, the open land grows over with bushes and individual trees 🌳. To ensure that the open land does not disappear completely, certain areas are mowed late in the year (after the breeding season). According to international criteria (IUCN Category II), such "management" is also permitted in the long term on up to 25% of the area of a national park, for example in order to preserve the Dreiborn plateau as a valuable habitat. The most important "rules of the game" for protecting nature: Stay on official paths, do not light fires or make noise, keep dogs on a leash & take your rubbish with you. Thank you for your understanding! 💚

There is also a rest area and an information board about water-bound migratory birds.

"...Then we leave the asphalt and walk through the Dreiborner plateau, a forest and open landscape. Since it rained heavily last night, the path is a bit muddy here. But with our sturdy hiking shoes, this is not a problem... " Find out more about our varied hike: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/urfttalsperre-wandern

A wonderful path, enriched with information, in the middle of a great landscape. There is no better way to present nature to the visitor. A great path for young and old. You should have seen that! TOP!!!

Unique prehistoric cave located in beautiful forest.

The Urttalsperre is the oldest dam (1905) 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.

The Dreiborn plateau is a dream in every season. Especially the sunrises and sunsets.

You'll almost come across here again on the way back. Enjoy the well signposted path!
