Malakoff Gate, Ordensburg Vogelsang

Highlight • Historical Site

Almost spooky when you look at the background of the order castle. But a good memorial. Worth seeing

Victor-Neels Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge, named after the last Belgian commander, Victor Neels, fits very well into the landscape. At the end you can expect a 16 percent gradient up to Vogelsang.

View of Vogelsang IP and Lake Urft

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you cycle along the Urftsee with a view of the former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang. The place reinvents itself today and sets an example against the Nazi crimes. As an “International Place”, Vogelsang today stands for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence. There are guided tours, events and exhibitions on historical and political education.

View over Woffelsbach and the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

With the construction of the Rurtalsperre 1934-1938 and its expansion 1955-1959, a large part of the old Woffelsbach in the Rursee disappeared. At the same time, tourism in Woffelsbach began, initially in the 1930s and received a significant boost with the second expansion phase of the Rurtalsperre (1955-1959) and the founding of the Yacht Club Rursee in 1956. Today, Woffelsbach is home to more than 15 sailing clubs. Camping sites, sailing schools, apartments and private weekend houses were built. In the years 2012 to 2014, a new center with parks directly on the lake and a lakeside terrace with a lakeside stage was created.
