Beautiful valley with several hiking trails that connect. Especially interesting for bird watching during the autumn migration.
The Valley of the river Our is a beautiful valley that you can also explore further if you cross the border into Luxembourg. There are several routes that connect to each other. From a birding point of view, the valley is especially interesting during the autumn migration. The pristine valley alternates rocky areas with grazing meadows and hay fields. There are also marsh areas and hornbeam, oak and coppice forests on the flanks. At the river Our, you can always see Vandstær and Isfugl and in winter also Stor Skallesluger. At night the calling of the Stor hornugle can often be heard. On the plateaus you always find Rød Glente! Other birds incluse Ravn, Sortspætte and Hvepsevåge. During autumn migration, the valley is a perfect spot for passing Fiskeørn, Sort Stork and Trane. Sometimes tens of thousands!

Nederlands: Prachtige vallei die je ook verder kan verkennen als je de grens oversteekt met Luxemburg. Er zijn verschillende routes die op elkaar aansluiten. Op vogelvlak is de vallei voornamelijk interessant tijdens de najaarstrek. De ongerepte vallei wisselt rostpartijen af met graas- en hooiland. Er zijn oook moeraszones en op de flanken haagbeuken - eiken hakhoutbossen. Bij de rivier de Our kun je steeds Vandstær en Isfugl zien en tijdens de winter ook Stor Skallesluger. 'S nachts is de Stor hornugle vaak roepend te horen. Op de plateaus altijd Rød Glente! Verder Ravn, Sortspætte en Hvepsevåge. Tijdens de najaarstrek is de vallei een perfecte spot voor doorkomende Fiskeørn, Sort Stork en Trane. Soms wel tienduizenden!
It is best to explore the area on foot. You can park at the 3 country point of Ouren. Following the river downstream brings you adventurous trails and stunning views. Consecutive day marches can be made. Some are tough, but there are also easier routes out of the valley. Hiking maps are plentiful about this area (Süd-Eifel). The route shown on the map below is 12.5 km long.
