Ridge Trail above Perlenau

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very beautiful, demanding, easy mountain hiking trail. The section is really rocky and riddled with roots. Surefootedness is required. Almost like in the high mountains. Beautiful.

The Teufelsley is the counterpart to the larger Engelsley—both offer excellent vantage points over the Rur Valley above Dreistegen. The names suggest this; the rock formations are associated with legends about how an angel vanquished the devil (who threatened Reichenstein Monastery).

Perlenbach Dam

Highlight • Lake

Here at the reservoir it is wonderfully quiet. In many places you have a beautiful view of the lake and the opposite side of the river.
The Perlenbachtalsperre is located near Monschau in the Aachen region in North Rhine-Westphalia. On the west side of the lake is the federal highway 399, while on the east side of a hiking trail from the dam to the Höfener mill runs. The building dams the Perlenbach and serves the drinking water supply as well as the power generation by hydropower. The dam was completed in 1956 and is operated by the Wasserversorgungszweckverband Perlenbach.
