Due to the floods in July 2021, numerous bridges in the Kalltal valley are in need of renovation. The usual route is therefore currently not possible. A detour is signposted. You can find these on this page as a download in PDF and GPX format.

Krawutschketour [E] | MTB-Tour Freifahrt Eifel

This loop, roughly around Bergstein and the Krawutschke observation tower, is short and crisp in terms of fitness with a strong main ascent between the Kalltal valley and the high-altitude villages of Brandenberg and Bergstein. You cycle clockwise, first relatively flat through the Kall and Tiefenbach valleys, then steeply up to Brandenberg and later very steeply down again to Zerkall. Here you will find the national park information point, which is also the start and end point of the route. Alternatives are the train station parking lot or the parking lots of the church in Zerkall or the parking lots of the Krawutschketurm in Bergstein.

Felsen-Rundfahrt [H] | MTB-Tour Freifahrt Eifel

Apart from a steep climb out of the Rur valley, along the Buntsandsteinfelsen nature reserve, this route is easy to manage overall. The route mostly runs parallel to the banks of the Rur. Parking is available at the train stations in Nideggen-Brück and Abenden as well as the parking lot in the center of Nideggen.
