Hike light from Aachen-Kornelimünster to Trier—discover the impressive power of the elements on the Eifelsteig

Every day is different, with ever-changing impressions, views, and experiences. Find your rhythm, become one with nature, and follow in the footsteps of the elements—water, air, fire, and earth. It’s a great adventure to hike the hike the Eifelsteig, with its 15 stages, in one go. Unforgettable moments await you as a reward. Roam through the flat northern region near Aachen, across the high Venn, past the imposing reservoirs, and into the Eifel National Park with its pristine mixed beech forests and the open grasslands of the Dreiborn Plateau.
With every step, you take in the Earth’s history—it took millions of years to shape these landscapes. Look deep within yourself: Can you still feel the bubbling beneath your feet in the Volcanic Eifel, the region of maars and dormant volcanoes? Winding trails lead higher and higher up to the Eifel-Blick Steling near Monschau.
You’ve come a long way: You’ve climbed the Kalvarienberg and the Dietzenley, let yourself be enchanted by the Butzerbach Valley, stretched your legs along the Salm, and cooled your hands on the rugged cliffs of the Gerolstein Dolomites. Then you’ll see it—the cathedral. It stands out against the city skyline; you’ve reached your destination —Trier.

Our tip: Experience the unique features of the cities of Aachen and Trier on a guided tour. Let yourself be guided through narrow alleys and across historic squares through the 2,000-year-old history of these two imperial cities. We’d be happy to reserve discounted tickets for you, upon request, to participate in a public guided tour in Aachen and/or Trier.
