56 Dorfrundgang - Hammer

Simmerath-Hammer

*The hiking trail is temporarily closed due to forestry work (as of 07.01.2025)*

Even the approach is an experience, no matter which direction you come from: the deep valley with its rocks and wooded slopes, the Rur, which makes its way lively and powerful at the same time, the fertile meadows and of course Hammer, which nestles close to the edge of the valley floor.

Current condition:

The Bartholomäussteg in Hammer "Am Hammerwerk" is closed until further notice. It is not possible to cross the Rur. For this reason, the route of the path has been rerouted. This is signposted on site and leads "Am Hammerwerk" along the RurUfer cycle path to Grünentalstraße (K21). After a short stretch along the road, a path on the right leads to the "Holderknipp". At the end of the path, you rejoin the hiking trail. This extends the hiking trail by approx. 1.6 km.

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.
