Wooden bridge over a stream in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

On the new Eifelschleife Spuren des Schiefers you have to cross some streams. A wooden bridge over the Erkensruhr leads across the wide Waldbach. Slate stones in the streambed make the stream murmur. Forest music 😊

Old Slate Mine Entrance

Highlight • Structure

Slate was still mined in the area around Erkensruhr until 1948. Today the old slate tunnels have been reclaimed by nature and offer an excellent shelter for bats.

Wüstebach Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

Transition from the Wüstebachtal to the Creation Path on the Wildnistrail, one of the few “wild” creek crossings. Very nice and rustic.

Wüstebach Stream

Highlight • River

Very wild, original section. Partial sure-footedness required because the roads can be narrow and slippery after rain.
