Urft Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

An absolutely impressive route. If you just drive to the dam wall, it's absolutely flat. Expect a lot of hikers on the weekend.

View of Vogelsang IP and Lake Urft

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you cycle along the Urftsee with a view of the former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang. The place reinvents itself today and sets an example against the Nazi crimes. As an “International Place”, Vogelsang today stands for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence. There are guided tours, events and exhibitions on historical and political education.

Paulushof Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Paulushofdamm separates the Obersee from the Rursee. From here you can hike or cycle left on the Rursee in the direction of the Schwammenauel dam or right on the Urftseerandweg to the Urftsee dam.

Obersee at Einruhr

Highlight • Lake

The non-navigable part of the Obersee is a little out of sight, but it is still a beautiful piece of nature. On the way from Obersee to Monschau, the cycle path first passes it.

Between Gemünd and Herhahn

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you follow the path coming from the direction of Gemünd, then the climb up to Herhahn starts right at the roundabout. At approx. 3km you drive up approx. 200 hm here. You will be rewarded with a great view over the mountains of the Eifel. The path is paved and without traffic. An alternative would be Aachener Strasse with more traffic.
