4 Täler [56]

The watercourses and their floodplains are a typical and ecologically valuable part of the Rureifel with a great wealth of flora and fauna. This diversity is thanks to the farmers who have mowed the meadows for centuries. When modern forms of farming close to villages made haymaking in the valleys no longer worthwhile, spruce trees were planted there. Efforts are currently being made in many places to restore the original floodplain vegetation. The characteristic terracing can be seen in many places along the hiking trail. This occurs when a river is no longer able to transport its debris and deposits it in the floodplain. If a river deepens again due to a change in climate, it cuts through the previously formed terrace. The formerly swampy valleys of the Eifel only acquired their function as traffic routes after the river regulation at the beginning of the 20th century.

Am Seeufer [J] | MTB-Tour Freifahrt Eifel

From the narrow Rur valley, head east (clockwise) up to the edge of the Börde. From there, the route continues undulating to Hergarten. Different vegetation, wide forest paths, steep trails and several ups and downs make this tour a very long and varied, but moderately difficult panoramic ride. You can start from the parking lots at the Heimbach or Abenden national park gate stations, at the Eschauel bathing beach or north and south of the Schwammenauel dam.

Biberweg [05]

Start of the hike in Hürtgenwald at the "Brandenburger Tor" parking lot. Follow the signposts of the Eifelverein 05 along the Hürtgenbach in the direction of the Südzipfelder Wehebachtalsperre, but turn off here at Gressenicher Weg and continue in the direction of "Rote Wehe". Follow the course of the stream until the "Alte Zweifaller Straße" junction, turning left into the forest towards the "Weiße Wehe" stream and back to the starting point.
