May 11, 2024,WDR Dreh - Ortskern Abenden – Rastplatz an der Rur Runde von Abenden

To mark the 20th anniversary of the @Nationalpark Eifel, WDR is bringing a series of interesting reports to your living room ;-)

We were accompanied for a while on the subject of "digital route guidance" and were (extensively) questioned and filmed. What remains is only a few minutes after the cut, but a great memory of this other hike.
