    Tolle abwechslungsreiche Strecke. Teilweise enge Wege mit wurzeln und auch in Fahnenwäldern. Kaum Steigung. teilweise Wald, teilweise Wiese ohne Schatten.

    Eine herrliche Strecke mit hohem Anteil an Wurzelpfaden entlang wildromantischer Bäche. Einzig im Mittelteil gibt es kurz etwas breitere Wege, doch dann taucht man wieder in den Wald ein.

    Hoewel bospaden de voorkeur genieten zijn 7 km verharde weg door de Hoge Venen ook de moeite waard. Zeker in de winter met rijp, sneeuw en zon.

    Recht viel Asphalt. In der Start-/Ziel Gegend ist die nahegelegene Autobahn leider seht gut wahrnehmbar. Ansonsten netter Spaziergang.

    Im Wesertal sehr schöner Pfad. Tlw. sind Weg, Wurzeln, Steine und Matsch dzt. unter dem herabgefallenen Laub schwer erkennbar. Rückweg leider viel Asphalt, aber trotzdem schön.

    Challenging, off-the beaten-track, trail following the faintest-possible tracks whenever possible. We met very few other people along the way, except around the Rursee. Great trail to spot wildlife.

    The StauSeeSteig is a fantastic, challenging multi-day hike that has been developed by the makers of the Dutch Mountain Trail. This trail really goes off the beaten track and we met very few others on the trail with the exception of the section around the Rursee. We covered the 124 km in 5 days which felt right as the terrain is not always easy going. As a bonus, there is quite a bit of wildlife to enjoy. Start and finish are easily reached by train. Highly recommended trail!

    Hunde erlaubt 🐕✅️ Zu keiner Zeit, betritt man Gebiete des Nationalparks/Naturparks, in dem Hunde verboten sind. Läuft man im Uhrzeigersinn, ist man die erste Hälfte auf dem Eifelsteig unterwegs. Breite Wege, Asphalt + Schotter, gut ausgeschildert, tolle Landschaft. Nach dem Weg am Rande des Naturparks gehts zurück Richtung Start auf nahezu ausschließlich Pfaden, teilw. nur so breit, dass die Heidelbeeren links und rechts am Hosenbein streifen.

    Eine naturnahe,ruhige Wanderung! Überwiegend naturbelassene Wege und Pfade und eine fast unberührte Natur machen diese Wanderung zu einem Erlebnis. Trotz der Knotenpunktführung ist unbedingt auch die Karte aus der App zur Orientierung mit einzubeziehen,da an einigen neuralgischen Punkten Hinweisschilder zum Knotenpunkt und zur Richtung fehlen. Die Tour ist trotzdem unbedingt sehr zu empfehlen.
