This tour is varied and only moderately challenging with a steep single trail north of Vossenack. It leads over gentle undulations and steeper climbs from the plateau of the Hürtgen Forest into the adjacent valleys. You can start the low-traffic circuit from one of the parking lots, e.g. in Vossenack (church) or Hürtgen (cemetery or sports field) or Germeter (parking lot at the edge of the forest, Zweifaller Weg).

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.

The 10.5 km Dreiser Kreuze-Weg leads you to the group of crosses "am Blenter" (station 9) and then runs a short section parallel to the Dreiser Orchideenweg.

About 2500 years ago there was a Celtic urbanisation with pastures on the Dietzenley. The Celtic urbanisation was protected by ring walls of up to 9 meters high and 4 meters wide against attacks.During the volcanic activity around 600.000 years ago, the area around the Dietzenley was covered with volcanic rocks. These rocks are used by the Celtics to build the ring walls.

Circular hike - 15.3 km

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.
