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.

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.

February 23, 2025,Wolfshügel / Eifel-Blick-Runde von Einruhr Variante 2

Many thanks to the planner for this great route. I replanned the last three kilometers so that I didn't run the same route. I started at the large car park in the center of Einruhr, daily fee €6.50 😳. From Einruhr I first went up to Wolfshügel. Basically you run the first third of the route, the Eifelsteig stage 3, …

December 13, 2025,Eifel-Rundweg ab Einruhr am Rursee🌲🌳🥾🇩🇪

Today I went on a fantastic circular hike in the Eifel region with three other people 😃

The forests were beautifully shrouded in mist and the sky was gray. However, this didn't detract from the wonderful route and the views 😁🌲

We climbed a total of 730 meters in elevation and covered about 22 kilometers.

June 12, 2022,Eifel-Blick Wolfshügel – Rurauenweg Runde von Einruhr

Back in the Eifel today. It was pretty hot and the climbs from Hammer were more difficult. Behind Eicherscheid I actually ran into a fox 🦊. Of course it was faster than my camera.
Many beautiful views, many parts of the Eifelsteig...
It was nice 😍
Have a nice Sunday everyone 🙋 ♀️🥾
