Since September 2018, the Geo-Route R themed hiking trail has been available in and around the Eifel village of Rieden, offering a wide range of interesting things for hiking, nature and volcano/geology enthusiasts. The approx. 23 km long overall tour can also be hiked in individual sections and other extra tours complement the signposted route, which is equipped with information boards.

Hike through the red sandstone rocks of the Rureifel

Across the rugged hilly landscape of the “wild” Islek region, this cycle tour follows the Enz river through to where it flows into the Prüm

In the Eifel National Park centre at the Vogelsang IP “International Place”, visitors can experience nature with all their senses - indoors and outdoors. Surrounded by dense mixed deciduous forests, the modern visitors’ centre above the Urftsee lake has hosted the “Wildnis(t)räume” (“Wilderness Dreams”) exhibition - a barrier-free, interactive nature experience for people of all ages. The Eifel National Park centre is open all year round.

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.
