Rur Floodplain Trail

This path along the Rur is really picturesque and very easy to walk on. Cows graze leisurely on the lush floodplain meadows and many birds are also on the move here.

October 8, 2024,Dedenborn – Rurtal vom Rauchenaul Richtung Hammer entlang der jungen Rur

Today's tour of the Telekom senior hiking group took us through the picturesque Rur valley behind Monschau, just before the Rursee. With 20 "wandering birds" we walked through the autumnal forest back to Dedenborn.
The final stop at the Seemöwe in Einruhr was used for a chat and a Klaaf.

May 7, 2023,Rurauenweg Nr. 26 Dedenborn

The circular route takes you through the beautiful Ruraue near Dedenborn. The first 1½km is uphill, but then only downhill and parallel to the Rur. Although 98% of it consists of wide and paved paths, they are less important due to the beautiful views across the valley.
