Urft Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

An absolutely impressive route. If you just drive to the dam wall, it's absolutely flat. Expect a lot of hikers on the weekend.

With the construction of the Rurtalsperre 1934-1938 and its expansion 1955-1959, a large part of the old Woffelsbach in the Rursee disappeared. At the same time, tourism in Woffelsbach began, …

June 19, 2024,19.06.2024: 60 Komma 5, Eifel, Kall und Uferradweg der Urft 🚴

On my tour to Blankenheim I turned off towards Kall - as planned - and from there I made a long circuit around the Rursee and the Urft dam. I had a nice coffee break opposite the pilgrimage church in Heimbach. I recommend enjoying a soup of the day there. The view of the former Ordensburg Vogelsang from the Urft …

May 5, 2024,Fahrradtour von Woffelsbach nach Vogelsang

Challenging, great bike tour, including cultural history. The route from Rurberg out towards Einruhr is tough, uneven, steep and slippery, at least on this day. A mountain bike would be the better choice here, but the rest of the route can definitely be managed with a touring bike. From Einruhr up to Vogelsang there are still a few steep climbs. …
