Rundweg Strohner Schweiz

A short hiking trail with minimal elevation gain and a manageable length, making it ideal for hiking with children. The beauty of Strohner Schweiz captivates everyone.

The Strohner Schweiz Loop Trail begins in the center of the small Eifel village of Strohn. The trail first winds through the village toward its outskirts and soon reaches the impressive Strohn lava bomb. This 120-metric-ton colossus is made of basalt and stands as a unique testament to volcanic activity in the Eifel.

The trail then winds its way into the picturesque Strohner Schweiz. The deeply carved, rustic valley of the Alfbach enchants visitors with massive boulders and narrow paths. Ferns and mosses cover roots and stones, lending the valley a magical atmosphere.

After crossing the Alfbach, the trail runs slightly uphill, always heading toward the village. The trail ends where it begins: at the Vulkanhaus Strohn Museum. A visit to this small, interactive museum is highly recommended and can be perfectly combined with a stop at the cozy Vulkancafé or the local pizzeria.
