Day tips for hikes in winter

If you are passionate about hiking, you will also enjoy being outdoors in winter . We present some hiking tours in the Eifel that are particularly suitable for winter hiking. The hiking tours are also possible on shorter days due to their length.

Hiking has a special charm in winter: hoarfrost covers the meadows and trees, the forest is restfully quiet and the clear air allows your gaze to wander into the distance. The Eifel also offers you many scenic opportunities in the cold season.
Please note: In winter, you should be particularly careful as roots or stones may be covered in snow or the path may be slippery.
