The approach is a bit steep, but the little effort is worth it. Must be done or seen. Of course, the weather has to play along.

We started at a crisp 6 degrees and pure sunshine from the hiking car park at the war cemetery in Alendorf. After a short, worthwhile look at the chapel, we went up a slight incline on well-developed paths. There were (unusually) many opportunities to rest and rest along the route. 5 stars for this. Due to the varied conditions of …

Ha! Kommot (or I) messed up. It was longer. The proof: the last picture shows the correct number of steps.
The Eifel Tuscany is an experience in any season, but today there was a lot of icy wind 😳

In the best weather we hiked on this slightly modified Eifel trail, together with other "carnival grouches" 😇 The juniper heaths are really reminiscent of the cypresses of Tuscany, the only thing missing was a red wine from the Ahr 🍷

Absolutely recommendable tour. Perfectly signposted. Afterwards we went swimming in the Freilinger See. Rounded out the day.

Beautiful tour - highly recommended. Probably not enough shade for midsummer, but otherwise perfect. Next time I'll try it in winter and then go the other way around.

Today I led this hike on behalf of the injured Stephan.
We started with 8 club members under an overcast sky from the Tränkgasse hiking car park in Ripsdorf.
As the hiking time progressed, it cleared up more and more, so we were able to enjoy excellent hiking weather.
This Eifel trail, well marked, leads along partly wide paths and …
