Hiking on the most beautiful trails

Some paths tell more than just a story. The classics among the Eifel hiking trails not only lead through outstanding landscapes, but also through centuries, habitats and cultures. They have earned their name through substance - through quality, character and what they make tangible along the way. We have 8 tips for you on hiking trails that you should definitely hike in the Eifel:

• The 3rd stage of the “Wildnis Trail” takes you deep into the Eifel National Park. Between Einruhr and Gemünd, you can feel nature reclaiming its terrain - dense greenery, hidden stream valleys, quiet forests and soothing seclusion make this stage an impressive experience.
• The third stage of the Eifelleiter also has its very own charm. It connects the Brohl Valley with the High Eifel and takes you through varied terrain - from small villages to far-reaching views of the Hohe Acht. Here, landscape and movement intertwine in a particularly harmonious way.
• The Lieserpfad, which has won many awards, shows the whole spectrum of the volcanic Eifel on its 3rd stage between Manderscheid and Wittlich: deeply incised river valleys, rugged rocks and quiet forest paths. If you are looking for originality, you will find it here.
• The 7th stage of the Eifelsteig takes you from Mirbach to Hillesheim - through open countryside, quiet forest passages and past evidence of the earth's history. It is a stage that offers peace and quiet and yet is full of contrasts.
• Felsenweg 6 - Teufelsschlucht is one of the most impressive day hikes in the southern Eifel. Bizarre sandstone formations, mossy paths and legendary rock gates characterize the tour. It is a trail that makes the landscape visible - in the best sense of the word.
• No less special: Nat'Our Route 6 near Vianden. Here you can experience the border area between Luxembourg and Germany as a dense cultural landscape with ancient hollow paths, wooded areas and open heights. A trail for all those who appreciate the quiet side of things.
• A day hike on the Schneifel-Pfad, for example between Prüm and Schönecken, reveals the rugged beauty of the north-west of the Eifel. It takes you through quiet forests, past remnants of moorland and over barren heights - with sweeping views and few distractions.
• And of course, the “ Traumpfad Eltzer Burgpanorama” is not to be missed: The tour is one of the most popular in the entire region - and rightly so. The view of Eltz Castle is iconic, but the sections through the forest, over rocky slopes and with views of the Elzbachtal valley also offer variety and atmosphere.

These hiking trails are among the classics of the Eifel because they are particularly varied in terms of landscape and offer a high-quality hiking experience. They combine nature, culture and regional features on well-planned routes. Whether a short day trip or a multi-day route - they stand for quality, orientation and sustainable enjoyment of nature.
