Perlenbach Root Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This wonderful nature trail is in close proximity to the Perlenbach stream. Some surefootedness is required, especially when it is wet, as the exposed roots of the spruce trees can be very slippery.

Great lines for experts! But beginners can also ride the moderate flow line. Everyone can ride at their own comfortable pace! One or two descents are a must on this round trip. All free of charge – thanks for that!

Nice bike park! The jump line on the left is great for practicing without having to climb forever. Unfortunately, the lower sections were being reworked (thanks for that).

Nice bike park. Be careful with the categories, though. In other bike parks, the blue line would be more red, and the red line would be more black. Otherwise, the bike park is a lot of fun.

The house is a part of a building complex in which the guest's house is also located. It was named after the last owner, the Junker industrial family. The building has belonged to the municipality of Hürtgenwald since the 1990s. The entire building complex consists of a two-story semi-detached house with a massive basement made of quarry stone and an upper floor made of half-timbered buildings, which adjoins the remains of a possibly former defensive tower made of quarry stone. The building was entered into the list of architectural monuments in Hürtgenwald on July 14, 1983 under number 14. The text of the monument description reads: “Inscriptional dating on the lintel 1651, renovated in 1773; (1723 according to Peters). Eaves-mounted, 2-storey semi-detached house, basement made of solid quarry stone, upper floor half-timbered; Connected to the northwest are the remains of possibly a former defensive tower made of quarry stone with cross-frame windows and half cross-frame windows with walls made of sandstone and bluestone, remains of an embrasure; the house in the basement with cross-story windows with bluestone walls; On the street front there is an entrance on the right and left, on the right there is a baroque pillar door with original nails, bluestone walls, the date in the flat arched lintel; left nailed door with wrought iron door knocker; the framework of the upper floor was largely renewed; Windows in old proportions, the rear eaves made entirely of quarry stone; completely renewed gable roof. Probably part of the former ironworks.”
