Turn-by-turn directions

This stage offers an interesting, varied hiking tour through the Eifel National Park – with pretty rocky trails running around the reservoirs and the Obersee and Urftsee lakes, which then ascend to the Dreiborn plateau, with great views over the surrounding hills, and finally pass through narrow valleys, and along lonely paths to the Urft Valley and the trail marker at Gemünd.
