"The Urft is a 46.4 km long, right tributary of the Rur River in the Euskirchen district of North Rhine-Westphalia. The village of Urft, which flows through the Urft River in the municipality of Kall, is located here. The name of the Urft derives from "Urd-apa." The origin of the word "Urd" is currently unknown, but it may be related to the Old High German word wurt, meaning "fate" and "turning point." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urft_(Fluss)

The name of this place – a stage of the “Eifel Springs Trail” runs through here, among other things – not only hints at it, but names it clearly and explicitly: This was once an execution site where the death penalty was carried out.
