Rur Floodplain Trail

Highlight • 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.

Historic Sunken Lane in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Historical Site

This beautiful hiking trail used to be an important transport route. Because the path was used by carts and livestock for centuries, it is clearly cut into the earth.

The hedges serve as protection from the strong winds that sweep across the plateau, especially in winter. Beech hedges have been planted in the Monschau region since the 17th century. They need to be trimmed regularly.

July 31, 2024,Eicherscheid (Simmerath): "Partnerweg-Des-Eifelsteigs" - Heckenlandroute

This was my second trick...
(very free 😉 after Wilhelm Busch)
So now the second circular hike of the day.
For this I had to find a bus from Simmerath to Eicherscheid. So far so easy... BUT: The "NetLiner" has to be ordered in advance by phone❗️🧐
If you know that, it's actually quite easy... 🚌✔️
I have summarized the …

September 22, 2025,Heckenlandroute - Eifelsteig Partnerwege

In Eicherscheid, where this partner trail of the Eifelsteig starts, we couldn't find a parking lot for hikers. There's a bus stop or roadside parking very close to the starting point. Arriving there, we're greeted by a strong wind, which whistles around our ears with an uncomfortably cold chill at the beginning of autumn 💨🍃. This is why the famous …

I was finally able to walk this route in its entirety. In beautiful autumn weather, this really beautiful route went through what I consider to be one of the most beautiful spots in the northern Eifel.

Today's tour was a necessity.
We actually wanted to hike from Lammersdorf to the Venn, but the Venn was closed.
So, we quickly looked for an alternative on Komoot and took the Heckenland route from Eicherscheid. It was worth it 👍. The route was very varied, with forest roads but also many narrow paths. From Dedenborn, we had a nice …

March 20, 2025,Eicherscheid: Heckenlandroute ✅⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally did this hike today in beautiful spring weather. Since the trees don't have any leaves yet, I was able to enjoy some great views, but it also kept me warm (at least on the steep climbs) - due to the lack of shade from the trees😂🥵

October 16, 2022,Partnerweg des Eifelsteigs - Heckenlandroute

Beautiful autumn hike in the Rur Eifel.
15.5 km, almost 500 meters in altitude.

Meadows fenced off by huge beech hedges can only be found at the end of this well-signposted tour, but this area is incredibly attractive and very diverse, especially now in autumn.
Mainly wider paths lead from Eicherscheid steadily downhill into the Rur valley.
We encounter the …

December 13, 2024,Heckenlandroute ab Eicherscheid

Today I took advantage of a day off and the dry autumn weather with temperatures around freezing to go on an Eifel tour. I decided on the Heckenland route from and to Eicherscheid-Rott. The tour is very varied, but has tough climbs. You have to like them. It can be done from both sides and is well signposted. About halfway …
