Forest trail along the Rur

Highlight • Trail

The bike path on the Rur from Monschau to the Rursee is a bit muddy in rainy weather, but it is beautiful. Often difficult to drive on with normal bikes.

December 20, 2022,Einruhr am Rursee - Blick auf Einruhr Runde ab Ettelscheid

The last piece was quite difficult uphill. Just managed with my moderate condition. There is a passage about halfway, 2e picture taken when I was already past it then stopped going on normal route. Maybe because of high water level. Don't know what it's like in summer. So I had to climb diagonally along the mountain. It was pretty slippery …

The many small cafes, …

That was actually a pretty nice lap - but it could have been even better if KOMOOT hadn't taken me along paths that don't exist or that you simply can't drive. You could also classify this tour as a normal bike tour, but for a few of the sections of the route an MTB is probably better suited. The mountain …
