Hike: Krawutschketurm

Hello,

it's time to hike in the Eifel again.
Let's do a circular hike around Nideggen-Brück.

Meeting point: Nideggen-Brück train station, 12:52 PM.
(Important: Trains of the Deutsche Bahn often do not operate reliably. Please allow plenty of time for changes.)

Course:
The Krawutschketurm hike starts and ends in Nideggen-Brück. We will pass the Krawutschketurm, Burgberg, Eugenienstein, Nideggen, and will take bridges over the river Rur twice.
The trail is small and quite technical. It has some steep and exposed sections. It's a steady up and down, mostly in the forests, and it provides us with good views on valleys, pastures, and streams.

Distance: 19 k
Elevation: 760 metres
Duration: 6 hours
Difficulty: difficult

What to bring: Water and a snack. Good idea to keep it light. Please don't overdress since there are very steep inclines that will heat you up for sure. Don't forget a rain jacket if rain is in the forecast.

Speed: not slow. Let's hike together as one group. Good endurance is necessary. We can't wait for untrained or slow hikers.

Pauses: No lunch break. It's a good idea to have eaten something before the hike. We'll try to avoid having pauses and keep going.
Eating a snack is totally fine as long as you do it while hiking.

Weather: We'll do it rain or shine.
