Hike the Eifelsteig without luggage from Aachen-Kornelimünster to Steinfeld Abbey—let the Eifelsteig carry you along

Water is the source of life—it accompanies you on your journey from Aachen to Steinfeld Abbey. Whether as a river following its own course or as a reservoir of drinking water in the dams. You’ll start in Kornelimünster, leave man-made structures behind , and immerse yourself in nature— a world that has evolved over millions of years. Cross the Struffelt Heide and Hohe Venn raised bogs ; water reservoirs that aren’t immediately recognizable as such at first glance.
The Dreilägerbach, Perlenbach, and Urft dams, on the other hand, are clearly recognizable. The lakes lie glistening before you. Feel the invigorating energy of the cool water as you drink it. You feel alive and at peace. Pause for a moment as you gaze across the water’s surface. Do you see how it ripples when the wind blows gently across it? You’re accompanying the Rur on its journey. Just look at how it has carved out its path and overcome rocky terrain. Just as you’ve conquered rocky paths, the river has slowly and steadily carved out its own bed.
Steinfeld Abbey promises inner peace. Feel the strength within you that has grown over the past few days.

This package is available year-round. The best time to travel is from April through November. During the winter months, weather conditions may cause restrictions. Additionally, please take the shorter days into account when planning your daily hike distances.

Our tip: Start your hiking trip with a guided tour of Aachen’s historic old town. Let yourself be guided through narrow alleys and historic squares on a journey through Aachen’s 2,000-year history. We’d be happy to reserve discounted tickets for you to join a public old town tour upon request.
