Smugglers' Shelter Schilsbachtal

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Here you can feel history close up. At the end of the forties there was sometimes not even coffee in Germany, which is why people used their "Muckefuck" from parts of plants that somehow came close to the taste of coffee. But of course, that's not the same, which is why coffee was a coveted good. And such goods often find interesting ways to those who desire them. This is the path that begins here: the "smuggler" path where people actually smuggled coffee from Belgium to Germany. The St. Hubert's Church in nearby Schmidt is therefore still today "St. Mocha "called.

View of the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

We started our tour at the Hotel Seehof in Schwammenauel and then hiked to Woffelsbach. From there we took the ship back to Schwammenauel. The tour is then about 14 kilometers long and ideal for a beautiful late summer day.

View of the Rursee (Rur Reservoir)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Currently, the Rurtalsperre does not have that much water due to the hot summer and low rainfall.

Promenade at Woffelsbach Bay

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

For me one of the most beautiful places on the Rursee. Take a seat on one of the benches and enjoy the view of the Woffelsbach Bay with the beautiful sailing boats.
