There's a small cafe in a train carriage, a great place for a coffee stop. Unfortunately, I could only pay in cash.

Information boards tell you about the cultivation of river mussels here in the Our.

Long chosen section, but very nice to drive. The varied nature here is particularly impressive because of the beavers.

The monument owes its existence to the President of the Association of the Eifel and Ardennes, Georg Wagner, who suggested its construction as a member of parliament and President of the Chamber in Luxembourg. The memorial consists of four stones bearing the names of the »pioneers for a united Europe« (Konrad Adenauer, Joseph Bech, Paul-Henri Spaak and Robert Schuman). The memorial stones come from the respective countries of origin of the named founding fathers. Gneiss boulder from the Lüneburg Heath for Adenauer, a sandstone block from the Müllerthal-Waldbillig for Bech, blue slate from the High Fens for Spaak and a slate block from the Vosges for Schuman. The fifth stone represents the Treaties of Rome and the signatories from the six countries involved. Near the European Monument and directly at the actual three-country point, a pedestrian bridge connecting Germany and Belgium leads over the Our, which was named after Georg Wagner.

According to legend, a robber baron fell in love with the wife of the Lord of Ouren. He devised a ruse to kidnap the noble lady. After a nocturnal meeting at the foot of Ouren Castle, he rode off with the lady. He had previously re-shod his horse, but had the shoes attached the wrong way round. In this way he wanted to deceive the pursuers. However, the new irons made a lot of noise on the rocky ground, so the pursuers could hear the couple from afar. They placed the fugitives on the rock that broke off steeply to the Our, trapping the couple. To avoid captivity, the robber baron urged his horse, which jumped off the rock with both riders in a high leap. The lovers fell into the floods of the Our, but survived. Only the horse broke his legs. As thanks for the miraculous rescue, the robber baron vowed to donate a chapel on the rock. However, he did not fulfill this vow and was struck by lightning.
