Out into nature
Would you like to discover the Eifel on a hike - but without committing to a long day tour? Then you'll find just the right thing here: hikes of less than 15 kilometers that are still full of impressions.
Between old castle walls, mysterious rock formations and wooden footpaths that lead you through tranquil heath landscapes, nature offers real discoveries. Some paths, such as the Waterland Route, can even be combined with a short boat tour - a wonderful opportunity to not only see the element of water, but also to feel it.
And if you are out and about in the Eifel National Park, you may come across one of the rangers. Their tours quickly turn into adventures, especially for children - because they show how diverse and worthy of protection the world of animals and plants is here.
Sometimes it's just a simple branch at the edge of the path that suddenly turns into a walking stick in your hand - a silent companion through nature. This creates a real experience that will stay in your memory.
These tours are ideal if you are traveling with children, as they are also easy for short legs to manage. However, you should only take a handcart or baby carriage with you if it is expressly recommended in the respective tour section - many paths are natural, narrow and sometimes stony.
