Hiking trails in the Eifel

The trail leads along the Geichlinger Bach up the valley over the Schandenhügel to Lahr, follows the Lahrer Bach to Hüttingen and then the Notzenbach to Kewenig Castle and Niedersgegen.

Three springs with refreshing mineral water, rare birds and plants, and the impressive volcano garden in Steffeln are just some of the many attractions along the two circular routes.

The Burberg in Schutz gives this hike its name. The unique volcanic mountain offers cultural treasures in the form of the remains of a Roman fortification from the 4th century.

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.

The mindful walk through the valley of the Kleine Kyll in the Eifel has a calming effect on body and mind.

The third and longest leg of the route leads high into the hills and is 18.7 km long, the highest point being the Aremberg.

The almost 7-kilometre circular trail near Kall is all about milk and is suitable for families and baby carriages

Start is at the church in Hofweiler. The small but charming village radiates a cozy atmosphere. There are great views right up to Zemmer and its districts. From the viewpoint "Kuhberg" the trail runs through the dense forest. Passing a thick oak tree, the route leads on natural paths. The highlight of the tour is the Altricher cave. The former stone quarry also served as protection in difficult times. Walk through the forest back to the village center. After a small climb, you will be rewarded with fantastic all-round views of the Eifel.
