Description

Youth hiking trail - 11.9 km - from Zülpicher Tor in Nideggen


We start our tour at Zülpicher Tor, where the access path to the "Felsenfeste Geschichten" youth hiking trail leads. The trail leads past numerous rock formations. There are exciting stories about many of the rocks. You can read them using a QR code. After the last magnificent view at Eugenienstein, the trail leads down into the valley. We cross the Rur over a narrow bridge. On the other side, a narrow path leads back up the mountain. We walk over the crest to cross the Rur again on the other side at Gut Kallerbend. Now we walk along the river until we master the ascent at the "Devil's Ride" and arrive back at the starting point.
