Hiking trails in the Eifel

The surroundings of Winkel are characterized by tranquillity and idyll.

The forest nature trail in the forest at Burgau Castle is a special nature experience for families with kindergarten and school children. Here they can learn all kinds of interesting facts about the forest habitat at various stations.

This is a demanding route but Hikers will be rewarded with numerous highlights. Start is at the cemetery in Sirzenich. The first great view is to the highest elevation "the Galgenberg". Even numerous districts of Trier can be seen from here. The narrow path leads you through a dense and fairy-tale forest area. The water treading basin offers a welcoming cooler during the summer months. Narrow paths and beautiful forest paths meander towards the Sirzenicher stream. Before reaching the lowest point of the tour, you will pass impressive rock formations. While reaching the city limits of Trier, the route leads over a wooden bridge to the Sirzenicher stream. From here the wild adventure begins. Following the course of the stream, 7 bridges facilitate the crossing. The Sirzenicher waterfall forms the end of this fantastic scenery. The place is perfect for a break and to listen to the rippling of the water. From here, we walk back through the forest to Sirzenich.

The watercourses and their floodplains are a typical and ecologically valuable part of the Rureifel with a great wealth of flora and fauna. This diversity is thanks to the farmers who have mowed the meadows for centuries. When modern forms of farming close to villages made haymaking in the valleys no longer worthwhile, spruce trees were planted there. Efforts are currently being made in many places to restore the original floodplain vegetation. The characteristic terracing can be seen in many places along the hiking trail. This occurs when a river is no longer able to transport its debris load and deposits it in the floodplain. If a river deepens again due to a change in climate, it cuts through the previously formed terrace. The formerly swampy valleys of the Eifel only acquired their function as traffic routes after the river regulation at the beginning of the 20th century.
