Circular hike / 3.4 km
The hike starts in Abenden at the Rurtalbahn railroad station. We follow hiking trail no. 67 and cross the Rur. We leave Abenden via Mühlbachstraße and hike slightly uphill and then a relaxed tour, also suitable as an afternoon walk for the whole family, back to Abenden.
The red sandstone cliffs pose a natural risk of falling rocks. Please keep your distance from the edges of the cliffs and do not stay below them. Observe warning signs and instructions to avoid accidents and protect nature.

As of now, the major fire around Hürtgenwald-Gey is largely under control, but there is now a massive fire burning in theHohe Venn, producing heavy smoke. The situation is very fluid and can change at any moment. Staying in the affected areas is life-threatening and must therefore be strictly avoided—please stay away from these areas and do not block access roads for emergency vehicles. Please check the NINA and KATWARN alert apps and the City of Monschau’s website for the latest information.
