https://www.komoot.de/collection/890629/-traumpfaedchen I ran this dream path two years ago. In March 2019. I found it to be a calm and relaxing path. (https://www.komoot.de/tour/58283382) And that's exactly how I feel about the path again today. Relaxing, promising and full of colors. The views of the dream path become more daring with every meter and reveal more and more of the Maifeldblick. Halfway through the lap I get the ultimate view into the depths of the Eastern Eifel. That's exhilarating ... Yellow grain fields alternate with maturing rapeseed fields and colorful green manure meadows. A typical heavy field smell wafts through the landscape. But that's part of it. The constantly new views of the Maifeld are fascinating. Always from above down into the depths of the Maifeld plane. A really well chosen path. Halfway through the path we meet the Polcher Bach, which we accompany for a while. The orderly field management takes a backseat in favor of a naturally wild meadow landscape on the stream side, which alternates at times swampy, at times grassy next to us. Mosquitoes and horseflies seize the moment. Slightly annoying. Even with Autan. On the far side of the stream there are old cripple oak forests, which are criss-crossed by slate rocks. The typical Eifel landscape in the Maifeld. We walk through a very pristine landscape that couldn't be more different. But here, too, there are always small glimpses of the Maifeld on Polch and its surrounding villages. When we arrive at Polch, our tour ends on the Veilchenweg. Conclusion: a dream path through and through. July is a good month to fully enjoy this little round. It is sure to be beautiful in other seasons as well. But when the grain is high and the green manure fields are blooming, it is buzzing and flapping everywhere, this round cannot be beat. With the views, the varied landscapes, the far-reaching views of the deepest East Eifel, this is a pleasant tour that does not require any major highlights. A little holy house halfway and a cross at the end bring a typical Eifel culture flair to the Paradiesweg. Recommendable! As an evening round and for the weekend!

A wonderful circular trail along dreamy country lanes in picturesque natural surroundings. It's aptly named "Dream Path Paradise Trail." Highly recommended 👍🏼 and great for walking with dogs.

Beautifully maintained path with some seating and a view.

"The Polch Paradise Trail is characterised by wonderful, airy expanses over long stretches. As we hike between rolling fields, there is hardly anything that disturbs our gaze as it wanders over the Maifeld. Striking conical mountains on the horizon place us in the Volcanic Eifel, before dreamy woods along the Polch stream provide relaxation." Quote from: Traumpfädchen, by Ulrike Poller. Particularly beautiful at this time of year: vast rapeseed fields and polyphonic bird song. Correction: Photo 13 shows the view of Polch

Today we're going on a little sunny day 🌼 walk through the fields and meadows of the Maifeld with the seniors of the Eifel Association. We'll finish off with a joint stop at Cafe Höfer in Polch. Very modern with a great sun terrace.

I was in the area last weekend. This great route was recommended to me. I didn't regret it. The loop was absolutely beautiful. The detour to the summit cross along the way is worth it. However, that section is missing from the track here because I "took it with me" on another day.

From my point of view, the dream path on the paradise path is a seasonal dream, I couldn't imagine that it would be such a great attraction for me in autumn or winter... The panoramic view over the Maifeld with its numerous wide, yellow-flowering rapeseed fields, the scent of which you could smell continuously , really impressed me today. I also found the path along the stream very nice. There are numerous appealing rest stops. A beautiful and very well-kept circular hiking trail, which is also well signposted... but it won't be a favorite 😉

A recommended hike, which I really enjoyed! The refrigerator across from the cemetery became my undoing. Mettwurst so finely seasoned that you didn't notice the fat. :-(..
