Short tour of the Urdenbacher Kämpe an old arm of the Rhine. The southern part of the trail is sunnier and more interesting because of the better view of the wetlands. The route is flat and also suitable for prams.

Today we went from Urdenbach above the Old Rhine to Garath, because at this time of year everything is overgrown and you can't see much of the Old Rhine. Then we went over the Garather bridge to the Strümpeweg, which runs along between the Garather Mühlengraben and the Old Rhine back to Urdenbach. At first I didn't see any water …

Did a walk through the Urdenbacher Kämpe with 7 friends and 1 dog from the Piels Loch hiking car park. Due to the high water on the Rhine, I preferred to take the Stümperweg instead of the shore tour. This particularly beautiful path leads along the Altrhein through the floodplain area. Even today, a number of people equipped with super …

Crossed the bridge and then back on the other side of the arm of the old Rhine. I was able to keep my promise of a maximum of 6 km …

I'm not allowed to exert myself too much yet, but I needed some light in the constantly foggy Erkelenz. I'm looking forward to mid-February - then I'll be able to run for longer again.
