Border Trail at Struffelt

Highlight • Trail

The name comes from the Struffeltkopf (450 m above sea level) with very nutrient-poor clay soil. So the whole area was called "Struffelt".

First of all, I have to mention that we had chosen a route titled
In Struffelt over wooden walkways - View of the Dreilägerbach Dam Loop from Roetgen. This was not true at all, but there was absolutely no sign of the alleged bunker. It was a nutcase who added these highlights.

Went on a nice hike with my son through the heath.
The heather bloom is over but the nature there is still beautiful.
