Along the middle course of the Rur, it goes close to the water along the shore from Hoven to Krauthausen for about 6 km. The path on the left side of the river is unpaved and follows a footpath through the floodplain. Those who prefer an easier route choose the path with the turning point on the other shore. After about 2 1/2 hours, the restless hiker reaches the starting point again.

This hiking trail is no longer maintained by the municipality, meaning hiking signs are missing, information boards are unreadable, and some paths are overgrown. Therefore, I can no longer recommend the route! An adventure trail that recalls the times when mining brought work and prosperity to the region. There are detailed information on 10 display boards.

    Sehr schöne und interessante Runde mit geringem Waldanteil. Der Weg ist leicht zu gehen, allerdings hatten wir Glück, dass der Boden noch gefroren war, denn sonst wären wir anfangs oft im Schlamm versunken. Da man teilweise dem Bergbauwanderweg folgt, findet man einige spannende Relikte aus der Zeit des Erzabbaus, incl. den Ruinen des alten Bergwerks. Es gibt keine Beschilderung und man ist auf die Navigation über Smartphone angewiesen, zumal der Weg auch teilweise zugewachsen ist. Die wirklich schöne Strecke mit den tollen Aussichten entschädigt aber für die negativen Aspekte.( es gibt tatsächlich viele Pferdeäpfel😂)

    Eigentlich eine schöne Wanderung bis auf die ganzen Pferdehaufen zwischendurch. Abwechslungsreich und schöne Natur. Nicht zu anstrengend und viel zu sehen.

    Nahe Schloss unten recht viele Jogger im Bereich der ersten Streckenhälfte. Aber in zweiter Hälfte angenehm "einsam". Strecke einfach und für die ganze Familie, jedoch zweite Hälfte nicht für Kinderwagen o. ä. geeignet.

    schöne kleine Runde. Es geht recht viel durch den Wald, so aussichtsreich war die Runde nicht.
