A beautiful, smooth path along the Inde River. It rolls along in a natural setting.

The asphalt is really slippery on this stretch. But you can see German construction logic here. It's gravel before and after...

The reception building of the former valley station now houses a cultural center. The temporary name Eschweiler Thal – later Eschweiler Tal – comes from the fact that the Inde River continued to find its way through the approximately 800 m wide valley of the Indemulde between Eschweiler-Röthgen and the old town until the beginning of the 19th century. In the plain, which at that time was home to many moors and swamps, the river had several branches. The southern branch ran roughly where the Talstraße (railway road from 1883 to 1898) now runs. It was built in an east-west direction parallel to the railway line between 1872 and 1873. Source: Wikipedia
