Beaver Viewpoint at Wehebach

Highlight • Viewpoint

With a little luck you can watch beaver here. Traces, like gnawed tree trunks, can be seen everywhere.

Unfortunately, the beautiful, idyllic path was completely destroyed and transformed into a three-meter-wide gravel track. A tragedy!

February 27, 2022,Nordeifel: Rund um die Wehebachtalsperre

This Sunday, after a demolition in June 2021, it was supposed to be a full lap around the Wehebachtalsperre. I recognized most of it, but some things have also changed. In the beaver areas in particular, things looked a little different.

The weather was really great, even though there should have been a few clouds in the sky.

Today @Carsten Heß was about the Wehrbachtalsperre. Great beautiful tour in the best weather. Beautiful routes and landscapes.

A great sporty route.
If you want to see something, you probably won't like this route. It basically only goes through the forest and that's not necessarily the best at the moment.
But it's absolutely great for running👍🥾. Filled with a wide variety of paths and trails. Very varied and entertaining.
Almost everything that makes my heart beat faster

could be good. Except for a few nice moments that I ran off the route, the road and gravel and chippings were not great. It is not a nice walk and for dogs, especially older ones, it is really bad

Going to find the sun across the border. I found the many wide paved hiking trails a bit less but despite that a beautiful area. Very quiet forest with nice parts to walk on the left and right. The elevation is easy to do because everything is a bit undulating. Free parking at the dam. On to the next one!

February 7, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "NRW" - See-Nr. 16: Wehebachtalsperre

Today I was on my way to Aachen. I'm staying there overnight so that I can do a few kilometers in Belgium tomorrow and the day after for my 5 Nation Cup.

And I thought to myself, if it takes me over 5 hours on the motorway to get there, then it must be worth it.
That's why I …
