Riparian forest in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Forest

Be careful – the meadow paths are rutted by wild boar, and the furrows and wallows were full of water from the previous rain. Since this was covered by grass, …

This fairytale pond is a little off the hiking trail, at the end of a small swathe.
If e.g. If there is too much going on at the nearby Eichendorff rock (Düwelsteen), this is an ideal place to find peace.

December 12, 2021,Düwelsteen – Schutzhütte Runde von Nonnenbach

A climb to the cave is worth it, bats live in it.
There is also a small cave painting on display.
On the Düwelsteen (Devil's Stone) there is a stanza from a poem by the poet Joseph von Eichendorff.

March 14, 2025,Nonnenbach: Eifelschleife "Wo Wälder rauschen"

A stopover on the way to Wuppertal. Driving to Nonnenbach (near Blankenheim) specifically for the hike wouldn't be worthwhile. The Eifel Loop mostly runs on wide gravel forest roads through deserted forests, without any highlights (which, of course, has its charm).

April 13, 2024,EifelSchleife Wo Wälder rauschen (Gemeinde Blankenheim)

This Eifel loop was a highlight for us.
The start and end point of the hike is the hiking car park on Forststraße, Lucht, 53945 Blankenheim. Just before the former Waldcafé Maus. The path then leads us in a relaxed manner through beech and spruce forests down to the source area of the Ruhrbach, where an original swamp forest has …

Today we are taking on the Eifel loop "Where the forests rustle".
And quite unexpectedly it turned out to be a little tour in the snow ❄️🥾🥾🐾👍
Passing a pristine alluvial forest, we discover a small hidden pond to the right of the path. We briefly leave the path and turn right onto a path that leads to the Düwelssteen …

August 24, 2025,(🇩🇪 EU 2025-08-24) Wander🅿️ Waldcafe-Restaurant Maus - Eichholzbach - Düwelskall-Höhle 6,2 km

A five-minute drive takes us to a new hiking parking lot 50 meters away from the former Café Maus (parking is no longer permitted here!) for a comfortable Sunday stroll.
We don't encounter a soul on the entire walk, allowing us to enjoy the nature undisturbed, the hidden forest pond, and Hailey to explore the cave behind the Düwelsteen in …
