April 16, 2023,Tour von Nideggen Rath um das Hindenburgtor

Very nice route from Rath to the Hindenburgtor. The rocks look like a gate. Unfortunately I had fog today at 7 o'clock. I couldn't enjoy the distant view from the vantage points.

Beautiful, very varied tour with great views of the Rur valley. Narrow, rocky trails alternate with soft forest paths. A great circular route for slowing down.
