Trail Along the Vichtbach

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice little trail along the stream. You have to overcome some roots and some stones here. Due to the low gradient, the trail is quite mobile for every mountain biker.

At Gottfriedskreuz Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The cross has apparently been replaced by a stone one in the meantime. The shelter of the same name is located on the opposite side.

Well-kept refuge (closed on 3 sides) with space for 6-8 people. On the corner, creative art with a chainsaw - a gem from an unknown forest worker. Regular emptying of the garbage can.

The potato tree at the prominent fork in the road used to be an oak tree that fell victim to the advancing Americans in World War II. After the war, a chestnut was planted on this spot; A potato tree No. 2, so to speak. The name, as known to everyone who walks in the forest between Mausbach, Zweifall and Vossenack, was also retained for this tree.

Unfortunately, the third of the above tours (Struffelt nature reserve - view of the Runde von Roetgen reservoir, 9.46 km) is currently (04/30/22) not accessible. The parking lot is closed and the path from the parking lot is not hikeable due to numerous large fallen trees 😱🙁. So it's no use starting this tour from the nearest car park - the Kleebendbrücke hikers' car park.

Very beautiful heath-moor nature reserve. The nature reserve is an old cultural landscape that originated from intensive sheep grazing and is now to be preserved. In autumn, the blooming heather is an absolute eye-catcher. Very beautiful in combination with the birches and the partly overpowering bracken. The paths through the moor run over boardwalks.

The path is badly washed out after the storm and very difficult to drive. At around 20 meters, pushing is the order of the day and a step of around one meter has to be overcome. Because the path was completely washed away. See photos of me.
