Loop
Popular loop in the Hohes Venn-Eifel Nature Park, North Rhine-Westphalia.
At the top, the path leads through a “water catchment area” - water that comes to the surface again in the form of numerous springs in the valley. Various facilities for water extraction are on the way. In the evenings there is a spring house from which water is pumped up to Nideggen. A scenic tour, but with ups and downs.

Continuous signage (originally signs for Quellen-weg) is no longer guaranteed, as this hiking trail is no longer listed in the current network of trails in the Rureifel / Nideggen area / evenings. Nevertheless, the paths are walkable. A hiking map is recommended or follow the GPS track.
