In return, the length also means that families with children can enjoy it A playground and boards, which lead through the flora and fauna of the volcanic Eifel, are specifically aimed at them.The …

I've already walked this HeimatSpur once in early summer and found it very beautiful back then (komoot.de/tour/281183942).

Now, there are no rolling fields of grain on the route, but plenty of panoramic views, beautiful forest sections, and deep stream valleys that always remind me of the forces of nature.

A nice short walk that is worth doing after work. We had hoped for a little better from the condition of the path, but it doesn't matter, the main thing is that it's outside.

There are lots of wide paths, beautiful views and a small skywalk with a view of the valley. Shortly before the end of the walk, there …

It started with 1.1 km of asphalt, then gravel paths, a short stretch of nice forest floor, then ground churned up by work equipment, …

Unfortunately, the adventure trail turned out to be a flop. The only highlight was the viewing platform, nothing else.

But we then drove along the panoramic road towards Cochem. The view from the top is beautiful.

Our first short walk today takes us along the Achterhöhe adventure trail. We park very close to the viewing platform. We reach it after about 400 meters through sparse forest. Here we enjoy a magnificent view of the Uessbach Valley. A comfortable bench is a great place to take a break and unwind. But we don't need a break just …
