Feierabendrunde Würselen-Scherberg

On this tour, we dive into the countryside, starting right at the edge of the village. A donkey and horses look after us as we follow the meadow path over the heights. Further ahead, a tractor is making hay. One last look back at the silhouette of the village from which St. Sebastian emerges and we are already walking through an unspoiled, wild forest. With each section down into the valley, we gain peace and quiet, the traffic falls silent and is replaced by the babbling of the Wurm. At the bottom, we come to Wolfsfurth, a former mill that was already mentioned in 1200. From 1813 it was a cloth factory, one of the first to have water-powered looms. The water of the stream flashes through the foliage of the hillside forests, and the mountains into which the Wurm has carved itself over millions of years become visible at an old quarry. In the open floodplain, which is a nature reserve, it is allowed to develop freely. In summer, butterflies accompany our path, and it is not unlikely that we will also encounter geese and herons. To the right of the path, brown Limousin cattle enjoy the extensive pasture. Back in the settlement on the heights, old farm buildings on Kreuzplatz remind us that agriculture has always been linked to the history of the village

Von Erkensruhr durch das Püngel- und Wüstebachtal

This tour takes you through the Püngel and Wüstebach valleys in the Eifel National Park. You hike from Erkensruhr through beech and mixed deciduous forests rich in deadwood, accompanied most of the time by the sound of one of the low mountain streams. The area is rich in flora and fauna. In spring, the daffodil blossom can be experienced, in summer the meadows become colorful thanks to the blooms of numerous wildflower species. At the beginning of 2017, a nature conservation project will come to an end here, which aims to pave the way for nature in the development national park to become wilderness. Some of the measures are visible and explained on the hike. The route consists of paved paths and small trails. The inclines and declines are not extreme, but a little surefootedness is required in a few places. All paths are marked on the hiking map. First you follow the Rur-Olef route upstream above Erkensruhr, then you follow the T3 themed tour, which you only leave for a short section that leads along the Püngelbach stream as a narrow path.
