Hiking on the "Muße-Pfaden"

The “Bach-Pfad” in the NaturWanderPark delux leads you along four lively streams through a mystical landscape that unfolds its full magic at dawn - with veils of mist, rays of sunshine in the moss and breaths of wind that seem to tell stories. As a “Muße-Pfad”, it invites you to pause for a moment and experience not only nature but also the underlying forces of this ancient, Celtic-inspired cultural landscape at four special leisure spots. Where wishing wheels await you, you can enter into a dialogue with nature spirits - mindful, with a twinkle in your eye and completely in the here and now.

The “Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht” combines the “Keltenpfad” and the “Felsenpfad” into an inspiring circular hike that takes you through volcanic landscapes, to Celtic settlement remains and along primeval dolomite rocks. At places of leisure (Muße-Platz) such as the viewing tower on the Dietzenley or the Buchenloch cave, nature and history invite you to pause and feel the underlying forces of this ancient cultural landscape. Here, where water, stone and time have left their mark, you can discover the quiet beauty and hidden stories of the Eifel.

The “Vulcano-Pfad” takes you right into the heart of the Volcanic Eifel - between maars, magma chambers and fairy tales. As a leisure trail, it invites you to pause at special stations: for example, on the quiet banks of the Mürmes, a reawakened maar with unique biodiversity, or at the Demerather Drees, where millennia-old mineral water quietly tells stories of depth and change. If you look beyond the garden fence of this landscape, you will recognize a harmonious balance in its quiet power - and discover new energy, meaning and connection to the creative forces of nature in the vastness and silence.

The “Stausee-Prümtalroute” in the NaturWanderPark delux invites you on a quiet hike that begins in the sunlight of the Bitburg reservoir and leads deep into the history, nature and spirituality of the Prüm Valley. As one of the official leisure trails, you will encounter the hermit Brother Antonius here - at four leisure spots, including his self-built forest chapel, his words on wooden plaques and his call: "Kuck es loa!" - "There, look!" If you follow in his footsteps, you will discover those quiet wonders between the rock and the herb meadow, between the castle and the reservoir, which only reveal themselves to those with an alert eye and an open heart.

The Nat'Our Route 1 runs through a valley in the border triangle that has been shaped by water, time and history - along the Our, which once divided and now unites. As a leisure trail, it invites you to pause for a moment at three special places: for example at the European Monument, where the idea of a common Europe has its roots, or by the river itself, where the talkative brown trout Fario tells of the transformation of the water. Here you can experience how borders become blurred and how water - patient, powerful and free - becomes a symbol of reconciliation, life and a united Europe.
