February 1, 2023,NRW_Eifelspur Wasser für Köln gekürzt_01.02.2023

Today @Bonnie24 and I hiked a shortened stretch of the Eifelspur Wasser für Köln.

The Kakus Cave at the start and end of the hike is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe.
On the Kakusfelsen on which a plateau of about 150 m length extends. The rocks are estimated to be around 300,000 years old.

July 3, 2025,Kakushöhle und Kartsteinfelsen – "Panoramaweg Veybachtal" Runde von Vussem

From Vussem, we take a circular hike, culminating in the large and small Kakus caves. Part of the way there is a beautiful panoramic path with magnificent views. In Eiserfey, they probably wanted to recreate a bit of Hollywood.

The caves are, of course, a highlight.

We generally prefer to be out in nature rather than in cities and today we are going on a circular tour to Vussem near Mechernich.
Partly through the forest but also a lot over meadows and fields, we go to Eiserfey, Weyer, Urfey and …
