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.

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.
