You start at the market square in Bütgenbach and follow the red route via the path "Zum großen Feld" towards the picturesque Warche valley. Along the Warche, you will find wonderful trails with spectacular views of the rolling landscape. The path takes you through idyllic forest areas such as Weywertzer and Nidrumer Heck.
Optionally, you can make a detour to the Elsenborn camp, from which you can catch views of the military training area. Afterwards, you ascend the former ski slope of Nidrum. Once at the top, a magnificent panoramic view of Lake Bütgenbach awaits before you run down through a meadow to the village. Leaving Nidrum behind, the route takes you along the Mausheck nature trail through the eponymous picturesque natural area.
A steep climb beside the dam is rewarded with a wide view of Lake Bütgenbach. Then you run a bit along the lake before the route brings you back to the market square.
Author’s recommendation
If you still have energy after the route, you can use up your last reserves at the outdoor gym on the market square. Alternatively, the terraces of Bütgenbach invite you to relax with a refreshing drink.
