Description

A circular hiking trail in the beautiful Nitztal valley.


The approx. 13-kilometre hiking trail is the longest circular trail around the Mayen district of Nitztal. With lots of mountains and valleys, you can spend some lovely hours on this tour.
With a duration of approx. 4.5 hours, you can divide the hike into a nice day trip. There are plenty of rest stops along the way - benches, huts and refreshment stops in St. Jost provide the necessary breaks and refreshments.
The Bendisberg mine, a visitor mine, is also a nice change from hiking for those interested in culture. It is approx. 700 meters from the hiking trail and is always worth a visit.
