Rest and Experience Spot Daffodil Bloom

Highlight • Rest Area

This rest area is in top condition and is ideal for a rest. It is in the Jägersief area, where the wet meadows there (in the direction of Perlenbachtal) turn into a sea of daffodils at the beginning of April.

June 22, 2025,Rundtour durch die Nordeifel von Einruhr, 22.06.25

OMG! I'll probably forget my bike at some point. Last time it was my keys, this time it's my cell phone. This time, however, I didn't notice until I reached my destination, so I didn't have a navigation system and unfortunately, no photos!
I start my tour in Einruhr. The RurUferRadweg (Rur River Cycle Path) takes me via Dedenborn to …

August 4, 2024,Von Einruhr nach Monschau

The tour starts at the beautiful Rursee. The route there runs along many forest paths that are very scenic, but also quite jarring. Before Monschau there is a sand sculpture exhibition in an old wool factory (perhaps a little old, but still nice to look at). There are also some curious things to admire in the hall. Monschau is a …

On the recommendation of the family, we drove this beautiful section today. As you can certainly see from the highlights and photos, a very nice route.

June 8, 2024,Monschau Bachtäler Runde oder „Die Wasser Tour“

The start and finish was Monschau, where we spent our rest day yesterday.
First we followed the Rur upstream on the Eifel Heights Route in a great natural setting. Next to us, the Rur bubbled and wound its way quite wildly through the landscape. From the cycle path we were treated to great views again and again!
Near Kaltherberg we …

As always, the review: adjusted elevation gain = 550 meters

We started on the main road (B266) that runs past Einruhr. There are parking spaces near the village that allow parking with a trailer!
From there, we continued through Erlensruhr through the forest past the Rothen Kreuz (Red Cross) towards Höfen. After reaching the highest point of the tour on …

August 26, 2023,Monschau - Höfen - Erkensruhr - Einruhr -Monschau

The start and finish is the Eierbachtal dam below Monschau. Only partially suitable for city bikes, as the route partly leads over coarser gravel. Otherwise a very nice tour, my recommendation.
