Biederburg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

After the old (dated) bridge fell victim to the flood, there is now a new, very stable bridge over the Lieser. Under the bridge you can cool your feet in the shallow water.

September 24, 2022,Eifelsteig Etappe 12, von Manderscheid bis Kloster Himmerod

We already knew the first part of stage 12 from the VulkaMaarpfad, which we walked from Manderscheid last year. But these rocky paths are so exciting that we will definitely enjoy them a third time on the Lieserpfad. The Lieserpfad accompanies us for quite a while, just like the Lieser people. At some point we leave them and hike along …

February 12, 2022,Eifelsteig Etappe 12 Manderscheid - Himmerod

Niederburg and Oberburg are firmly rooted in the Lieser valley, surrounded by forests in the powerful volcanic landscape. You now hike along narrow, stony paths through the narrow Liesertal - uphill and downhill, past rugged rocks, some of which drop steeply down to the valley. Below you, the Lieser, who meanders and persistently seeks her way through the rock. On …

June 16, 2021,Eifelsteig: Etappe 12 🥾 Manderscheid nach Kloster Himmerod

What a wonderful tour it was today. We can unreservedly recommend stage 12.

After the shuttle bus took us up to Manderscheid, we went straight on with a last look at the ruins of the Manderscheid castles, with beautiful paths, uphill and downhill, over rocky passages and through rustic forests.

March 30, 2025,Eifelsteig Etappe 12 von Manderscheid nach Kloster Himmerodt

What a stage! Here, the simple rule applies: the journey is the destination. Further attractions or highlights are simply unnecessary. After Manderscheid, the Eifelsteig follows the Lieserpfad (Lieser Trail) for approximately 11 km. Every step is pure enjoyment. The rest of the trail to Himmerod Monastery is no less enjoyable. A fantastic trail that deserved more sun and color. We're …

May 25, 2022,[341] Eifelsteig: Etappe 12 | Von Manderscheid nach Kloster Himmerod 🌤 3🥾 🍰 🎒 🕍

The morning starts with sunshine. Only a few small clouds decorate the sky. Ideal hiking weather. From Manderscheid, the path continues parallel to the Lieser path like yesterday. We hike beautifully about 50 m above the Lieser on a narrow, partly sloping path. However, critical points are secured with ropes. We descend several times to cross the river. After about …
