Here at this spot, you have very good and flat access to the Urft. Perfect for cooling off in the summer.

The Urft River, a generally tranquil Eifel river just under 50 kilometers long, flows through the village of Urft, which administratively belongs to the municipality of Kall in the district of Euskirchen. It is not uncommon for a place to derive its name from a body of water; for example, the village of Olef (also in the district of Euskirchen) lies on the banks of the river of the same name. The Olef and Urft rivers meet at Gemünd.

Beautiful old Roman spring. A good place to take a break in summer, as there is usually shade. A good shelter is located nearby.

Impressive bridge with a view of the lake. But there's a steep climb (16%).

The little detour from the main trail was worth it. I was drawn to it by the marked highlight. It's also a nice place to take a break.
