We started down in the valley (no big parking lot at the starting point). From there it went steadily uphill through forest and fields. The weather kept getting nicer and more spring-like. The way was really great on small or wider paths. The highlight was the sacrificial stone on which a few bones were draped. The ground was very muddy …

The Keltenrundweg - almost 16 km long and a hiking trail that deserves its name. Beginning in Steineberg, the path runs alternately over field paths and through the forest. In addition to the magnificent Eifel landscape and great views of the Eifel hills, history is not neglected here either. Along the Uessbach you touch the corn mill, later the Demerather …

It was a really nice tour. Still a bit fresh in the morning, but then the sun came through a bit. You should only go on the tour in dry weather. At the beginning it only goes over dirt roads and the grass is about 50 centimeters high.

Very nice hike.
Best weather, but very windy and very cool.
In Steineberg you start at about 558 altitude.

Encountered 8 deer.

A really recommendable home track. At the beginning of field and meadow paths always downhill towards Ueßbachtal. Shortly before the valley we went into the forest. Here the paths became wider, but the Ueßbach meanders several kilometers alongside our path. A worthwhile detour is to Msusmuhle over an adventurous bridge (somewhat dilapidated). At the Demerather Mühle it went back uphill …

After doing the first hike from the HeimatSpuren collection yesterday, I did another one today. It was again very beautiful, and once again, I enjoyed the section along the Üßbach stream the most.

Shortly before the end of the tour, you pass the observation tower on the Leyberg, which you'll certainly want …

Today we were on the trail of the Celts. From Steineberg we went down forest, field and meadow paths into the beautiful Üssbachtal. The stream meanders beautifully along the path, and a short detour to the corn mill is also worthwhile. Continuing along the path, you will pass the next mill, the Demerather Mühle. From there it goes steadily uphill, …
