Hiking

The great views are what makes this home trail so fascinating.
The path leads fairly quickly through a magical deciduous forest. Once you have mastered the first few meters of altitude, you will have a wonderful panoramic view of nature. A little further down the valley, a section of the Lieserpfad leads to the Old Oak, the tree that gave this circular path its name. The 25 m high, over 460 year old giant, with a trunk circumference of almost 5 m, is a natural monument. The path then leads upwards to a wonderful panoramic view. The Struth villages of Kradenbach, Neichen, Beinhausen and Boxberg with its Lieser spring fit perfectly into the Eifel landscape.

✨ Highlights of the tour:
⇨ 3.7 km Liesertal
⇨ 5.2 km Old Oak (a 25 m high and over 460 year old giant)
⇨ 7.0 km panoramic view over the Struth

🔎 Insider tip 🔎
After 6.8 km it is worth taking a detour to the church of St. Hubertus Hilgerath (walking distance approx. 0.25 km).

👉 Starting point:
Community center, Bergstraße 1, 54552 Sarmersbach

Bench with a view of Nerdlen and the Liesertal Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bench was lovingly crafted by Alfred Braun and made available to the community. The decision as to where the bank should go was made quickly. It was placed on the open plateau above the old Nerdler water house and now invites you to linger. From here, all walkers, hikers and cyclists now have a great view of Nerdlen and the Liesertal. The local community of Nerdlen would like to thank Alfred Braun for the great bench.

A home trail that mainly takes you along wide paths and offers beautiful panoramic views over the country along the way...

This circular route was a wonderful Sunday walk for us. In the most beautiful Sunday-summer weather, we estimated every second bench to enjoy the sun. And the beautiful picture book landscape also invited you to sit back and relax 😊! The detour to the Hilgerath parish church was also worth it, the tip from Die_Ute made us curious. The location …

It's not the first time I'm doing the "Alte Eiche" tour from Sarmersbach today, I was last here in November, but at this time of the year you experience everything very differently.

However, the big highlights are still the nature, fauna and flora, the venerable old oak tree near Neichen, which gives the round its name, the Hilgerath parish …

The "Alte Eiche" circular route starts at the community center in Sarmersbach, where there are also parking facilities.

Out of the village, it goes alternately through forest and meadow landscapes, sometimes up and sometimes down. In addition, the path also touches the 1st stage of the Lieser path and a detour to the eponymous "old oak tree" - which is …

Today we hiked the HeimatSpur Alte Eiche in nice, frosty winter weather. The starting point was the town center of Sarmersbach. Varied on forest and meadow paths, it went uphill and downhill to wonderful panoramic views of the beautiful nature. The highlight of the tour was the natural monument - the more than 460-year-old oak tree - in the Liesertal. …

Very nice home track and not too short with the small extra loop at the Hilgerather church.
With great sunshine and crisp cold temperatures, this was a wonderful winter tour.

Today drove to Sarmersbach. There were a few more tours signposted, so we will definitely come back again. There was also an organic farm nearby (Saturdays 10 am-2pm).
The weather was cool, foggy and with a little rain: onion principle rules. There were also a lot of guard animals: "little dog" and a few extremely aggressive chickens. You had beautiful …

Beautiful hike across meadows and through forests. Today it was unfortunately quite icy and very windy.
