About this property

*** Star apartment, large terrace on the south slope with panoramic views near the Rursee

Modern, cozy, flooded with light and lovingly furnished

57 sqm apartment with 20 sqm terrace and is located in a very quiet south-facing slope with a direct view of the Eifel National Park in the idyllic town of Erkensruhr.

This apartment is so ideally located that a view of the
Nationalpark Eifel is given from the whole living-sleeping quarters.

The location of our holiday apartment is characterized by pure peace and nature.

Apartment is for 2 people up to max. 3 people optimal.
The house was built on the slope and the apartment
is optimally arranged due to its terrace-like location / construction. Our apartment is on the 4th Descending level.

In the village of Einruhr you will find good, bourgeois and exclusive gastronomy. However, if you prefer to cater for yourself, there are various shopping opportunities in Simmerath.

The village of Einruhr, located at Rursee in about 2.5 kilometers, offers
numerous one-stop options, a ship landing stage and a
Natural swimming pool from which the Rursee and its beautiful surroundings can be explored.

Ski and cross-country skiing, sledding can be done in the area such as B. Rohren (Belgium) with its drag lift and trails.

From the beginning of 2006, the area of the former military training area can also be hiked. On signposted routes with
A total area of over 50 km between Höfen (20km), Erkensruhr, Dreiborn (8km), Einruhr (3), Urftseestaumauer (11km), Vogelsang (6km) and Gemünd (12km) are the way clear for hikers and cyclists. An extra tip for hikers and nature vacationers are the towns of Erkensruhr and Hirschrott (1km). A very special natural spectacle awaits nature lovers who explore the national park in spring from Höfe (20km). The wild daffodils transform the meadows in the Perlenbach and Fuhrtsbach valleys into a yellow sea of flowers.

Guided ranger hikes take place in Erkensruhr.
Boat trips with or without a hike can be combined. Gourmet tours can be booked.
The historic Monschau, the high Fens, the three-country point,
Bad Aachen are some of the few excursions in our region.

We would be very happy to welcome you in our apartment. Bouge family

very nice place!

The house is ideally situated voor walkers and visits to the small towns in the vicinity. Very well equipped house and kitchen.We only had a lot of problems with FEWO direct organization, but that had nothing to do with the landlord, who was very nice. Together we found a nice solution. We can recommend this accomodation wholeheartedly

Wonderful stay in the beautiful Eifel

We had a perfect short holiday in the very nice appartement in the Eifel. The Fewo has everything you need,a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of cleaning products, towels etc. The appartement has a smart tv and the wifi is good. We loved to sit at the terrass and enjoy the birds singing. The check-in is easy by key-box and you have your own parking space. Because the house is very close to the Eifel National Park you can enjoy walks directly from your front door. The area is ideal for birdwatching and other wildlife and it is a short walk to the village Einruhr. We would love to visit again.

I loved the environment, so quite en beautiful. Good description of how to get the key - only in German so thank god for translate-apps :-) You need to be carefull going down to the appartment, the steps can be slippery. The appartement and equipment was sufficient. The only luxery thing i was missing was a microwave (little detail) and maybe a proper double bed; there are two seperate matrasses and two separate beddings.
