We look forward to welcoming you to the Braugerstenpfad in the Zülpicher Börde. Ahead of you lies an almost four-hour hike on mostly quiet paths between fields and meadows, with almost endless views as an encore.

Beautiful cycle paths with little car traffic combine water and nature experiences in the Eifel National Park. Plus a piece of dark history and the conversion of Vogelsang into a national park center and Nazi documentation

With the Rur always close by, we visit churches, chapels and sacred places. There is also history and stories.

The 3.8 km circular trail shows all the special features of the village of Hergarten.

Family-friendly circular hike near Heimbach in the Eifel (5 km), always along the water's edge

The Börde loop starts from the National Park Gate in Heimbach

From 05.07. to 12.09.2025 you can set off along the jungle trail in search of over 30 elf houses.

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.

Discover and experience six works of art on a short walk.

The short 3.4 km circular trail through Vlatten shows all the highlights of the village and the landscape.

Long hiking trail/12km

The almost 4 km long hiking trail takes you through the beautiful Börde landscape.

The trail leads along the banks of the Rursee, then up to Schmidt and back through the Eifel National Park with a view of the "Schwammenauel" reservoir.

The trail leads through an area rich in game with many traces of hunters and the hunted. The north-eastern part of the national park borders our route. For thousands of years, people subsisted as hunters and gatherers. The introduction of livestock farming and agriculture not only changed habits, but also the original landscape. The result was a cultivated landscape dominated by humans, which increasingly limited the habitat of game. We follow the hiking trail sign 09.

The hike from Heimbach to Zerkall is a short, relatively easy stage through the north of the national park.

Circular route / 5.5 km

The hiking trail leads from the Heimbach reservoir up to Mariawald Trappist Abbey.

A few days after the disaster of the "Battle of All Souls", Eisenhower's planned advance to the Rhine began on November 16, 1944 with "Operation Queen", the largest tactical air attack in support of ground troops during the entire Second World War.
