Fascinating, sometimes rocky passages along the waters of the Rur and Urftalsperre dams make hikers' hearts beat faster right from the first few kilometers. Immediately after the start in Einruhr, hikers are rewarded with magnificent views of the Obersee. The hike to the lakeshore is very entertaining and you now have to stay on the paths; you are in a former military training area, which is now part of the Eifel National Park. The water glistens beautifully and, especially above the Urft dam (refreshment stop), the world of lakes lies at the hiker's feet. Surrounded by colorful butterflies, the trail leads up to the open landscape of the Dreiborn plateau. Here, broom and sandy paths accompany the hiker to the deserted village of Wollseifen and ahead you can already see the walls of the former Nazi "Ordenburg" Vogelsang (refreshment stop), which now houses a visitor center. Guided tours of the grounds and tower climbs are offered there. Before descending to the day's destination of Gemünd, you can enjoy two more fabulous views at Kickley and Eifel-Blick Modenhübel.
