Oberes Rurtal mit den Felsbildungen der Ehrensteinley, Nature reserve in Monschau, Germany.

The Oberes Rurtal mit den Felsbildungen der Ehrensteinley is a nature reserve near Monschau made up of four separate parcels along the Rur. The river has cut a gorge up to ten metres wide into Devonian slate, with rapids, pools, boulders and gravel banks, lined by a narrow strip of maple, alder and ash. Below the Ehrensteinley cliff the valley floor holds grassland used as a campsite and playground, and the reserve also contains Kloster Reichenstein and a pond.

The reserve was designated to protect the Rur's natural riverbed and the Ehrensteinley cliffs. Its four separate parts are cut by the Vennbahn railway embankment, now a cycle path, and by the B258 road. The Vennbahn track here lies on Belgian territory and forms the northwestern boundary. The Reichenstein monastery and a campsite stand within the protected area.
