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.

Only the foundation walls of the house in which the grinder was housed remain. Opposite the house is a small quarry stone house as the only remaining remnant of a larger building from the 19th century.

Tiefenbach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Very beautiful, relatively open valley, which offers shady places, but also sunlight. The Tiefenbach ripples over rock into the valley.
It is a shame, however, that it runs behind barbed wire in many places below the oil mill.

November 2, 2022,Wunderschön 🍁🍂☀️ …besser geht Eifel nicht 🧡

Made many times, always with small variations. I forgot to start again after the break, it was actually 23km.
Except on Wednesdays, in Einruhr the opportunity to stop 😉
Definitely remains my favorite round 😊

The basis for my tour was the hike "Beautiful...Eifel couldn't be better". Many thanks to the planner for this great round. I only changed the tour very slightly and added a detour to Einruhr. The hike really shows many facets of the Eifel. At the beginning it goes through the beautiful landscape with hedges made of beeches. Via Dedenborn you …

This tour offers everything you could wish for from the Eifel. From beautiful valleys, with rushing streams back up to fantastic views. If you have managed the first small mountain, it is then a leisurely 6 km downhill. Okay, there are still a few mountains to climb afterwards, but you will always be rewarded for it 😉🏞 Despite the altitude …

Did my favorite tour in the Eifel today. I've described them many times, it stays the same, beautiful views and dreamlike valleys alternate 😌 stop at 12km in the Eifelhaus, which spoiled us today with ham platter, shandy and plum cake 😋
