Hiking trails in the Eifel

Discover spectacular views and experience nature with rugged basalt and lava rocks as well as ancient beech forests. The flowering of the lunar violets is particularly impressive in May and June.

The hike leads from Simmerath into the picturesque Tiefenbachtal valley. Passing the very first commercial enterprise in Simmerath, the path meanders through the beautiful valley where the former oil mill is located. The path then leads uphill along the Brombach stream via Huppenbroich back to Simmerath

Circular route via three beautiful viewpoints from Schuld

Cross the wine village Mesenich, along old wine houses and former vineyards. Along a resting area and the "Kreuzweg" (Way of the Cross), past the children´s home to an overlook with views over the bend of the Sauer river. The hiking trail continues via the ancient roman way to the Olken hill („Olkener Berg“) and heads back via the culture path („Kulturweg“) past sculptures, always having a view to the surrounding villages (Luxembourg and Germany) and the Sauer river.

The final section first takes you to the dreamy forest adventure trail of Erlebniswald Steinrausch, close to Kempenich. The conquerors of the Eifelleiter then continue through small Eifel towns such as Lederbach and Hohenleimbach before heading up over the Eifel’s highest peak, the Hohe Acht, and taking aim at their tour destination: the town of Adenau.

On the third stage from Gemünd to Heimbach, you hike through the Kermeter. This ridge with its ancient beech forests was the decisive reason for the designation of the national park.

The circular route leads through the Perlenbach valley to the "Unterer Steg" footbridge, which crosses the stream.
