Hiking tour 15: Schneifel-Pfad "Pilgrimage of peace"

✔Distance hike ✔5 days ✔approx. 48 km ✔Schneifel-Pfad ✔Prüm to Gerolstein/Birresborn

Fire and water, light and shadow, war and peace - a hike on the southern section of the Schneifel Trail leads through a region full of contrasts.

Come to rest and reflect, look at the world from different perspectives. Discover a piece of the Eifel that has an eventful past behind it. This is the Schneifel Trail, a hiking trail of peace, inner contemplation and leisure. A look back: To the time many millions of years ago, when the primeval sea still surged here, when the elements ran riot. A view from Calvary into a deep crater, a symbol of destruction, suffering and hardship, because it was made by man. Today: the birds chirp in the forest and the flowers along the path stretch their heads towards the sky. The Nims meanders comfortably through the valley, the enchanted and bizarre rocks in Schönecker Schweiz show the way, the old beech forests protect you from the sun and rain with their canopy of leaves and from the Katzenberg the view sweeps over a vast landscape.
Many generations have left their mark: The St. Salvator Basilica in Prüm tells of a glorious past in the Carolingian era, while in the artists' settlement of Weißenseifen, a spiritual and creative spirit wafts around the works of contemporary artists.
