March 22, 2024,Panoramaweg - Rurseeblick – Blick über den Rursee Runde von Rurberg

On the way to the Vulkaneifel we made a short stop at Rursee.

A beautiful panoramic path leads above the Rursee.

We then went back to the Upper Rursee

The dam is closed at the moment. A short walk through the park is also not a punishment.

Beautiful short hike. Or better, a nice longer walk.
