Circular hike along Lake Laach: unique insights into the volcanic past on the Eppelsberg, volcanism live on Lake Laach with a view of Maria Laach Monastery, magnificent views of the Krufter Waldsee and wonderful views of the Pellenz.

Approx. 16-kilometre circular hike on the eastern section of the Vulcano Trail between the picturesque villages of Ellscheid and Steineberg.

Black cormorants, great crested grebes, grey herons, ducks and, with a bit of luck, red and black kites as well as the black stork - the Urft Dam in the Eifel National Park is an El Dorado for birds. Here they can breed in peace and raise their young. The bird watching station at the Urft reservoir is an excellent place to observe the birdlife. Two high-quality telescopes are available for this purpose.

Pure nature! Switch off for a while, breathe in the fresh country air and then have a good time in Bad Münstereifel with culture, drinks and food or shopping.

The trail starts at the church of Schleidweiler. The route leads along typical Eifel Houses. The path runs along the open terrain before it enters the forest. Past the old sandstone pits, the natural trail leads through an untouched part of the forest down to Daufenbach. The small town even has its own train station. Parallel to the Kyll the path leads over the cycle path to the district Mühlenflürchen. Take a deep breath before climbing the ascend. You will get rewarded with untouched nature with former quarries. The hidden waterfall at the end of this quiet woodland invites you to linger. The last stage will take you across the Eifelsteig, back to Schleidweiler.
