Ranger tours in the Eifel National Park

Experience nature, understand wilderness

Fancy some wilderness? Then join a ranger tour in the Eifel National Park and discover how fascinating nature can be when humans don't intervene. Together with one of the rangers, you will hike through unspoiled beech forests, along tranquil lakes and into a landscape that has been left to its own devices since 2004 - the "primeval forest of tomorrow".

The tours are free of charge, take place regularly and start in Rurberg, Gemünd or at the barrier-free nature experience area Wilder Kermeter. Whether you want to find out more about beavers, black storks or Eifel gold broom - or simply want to get out and about with all your senses: What counts here is not who arrives first. It's what you discover along the way that counts.

Rangers like Sascha Wilden accompany you with knowledge, wit and a real understanding of nature. They will show you what is important in the protected area - and why a hike through the Eifel National Park is much more than just a walk. It is an invitation to look, ask questions and be amazed.
