Eifel National Park by public transport – Wild Kermeter

Today we enjoyed a lovely hike through the winter landscape in the Kermeter forest. 🥾 The fresh snow from last night was very grippy, and the ground wasn't as icy as it had been the day before yesterday. It seems the best course of action is to play it safe for the next few days. Take care, these wishes are definitely going north right now, moinmoin!

The "wild Kermeter" and the "Hirschleyroute" are barrier-free hiking trails in the immediate vicinity of Heimbach. Beautifully situated in the Eifel National Park. It is constantly being expanded and is particularly interesting and exciting for families with children.

🎥 Dancing in a red-colored rain | Hirschley – Eifelblick | May 1, 2023 📍 Location: Eifel National Park, Germany 🚶‍♂️ Distance: 7 km 🌦️ Weather: Rainy, but heartwarming 🗣️ Voice-over / description: What a day. Morning coffee. In the car. No plan. Just… drive. Past Antwerp. Towards Maastricht. And then – why not just continue to Germany? After two and a half hours of driving, the sky opened up. Rain. And not just a little bit. Pouring. But drive back without having done anything? No. We were here now. So we stayed. And there we were. Not dressed for the weather, but in the right mood. I suggested: a 7-kilometer walk – just, try it. And so we walked through the Eifel National Park. Soaked from head to toe. Feet soaking in our shoes, rain on our eyelashes, dewdrops on our vests. But it was so beautiful. As if the trees were crying... but not from sadness. It felt more like a blessing. The rain colored the world differently - brighter, deeper, richer. We danced in a red-colored rain. You in your dress - so beautiful, so pure. Today red was really your color. Nature seemed to agree with us. And so we turned wet clothes into a warm memory. No sun needed to shine. No plan needed to be happy. Sometimes you just have to dare... to get wet. 📸 Look at the photos.

Great sayings and loungers: There is a lot to marvel at on the Wilder Kermeter with the “Wilde Weg” nature exploration trail. Not just for children. And also a lake view.

Great round! But first I forgot to run komoot from the parking lot 🙈. We walked the "wild way" two days ago and took our time and used the great loungers for "forest bathing". Today we walked the "wild way" backwards on the way back - not a good idea because it was a lot busier and we had to walk through oncoming traffic. My advice: better start with it and head in the right direction. Otherwise, the entire path is barrier-free - very easy to do with an all-terrain stroller. The absolute highlight is the view of the Rurtalsperre from the Hirschley 😍. Two ways lead there. The one on the left has a maximum gradient of 6%, we hardly noticed that. It wasn't strenuous at all and almost level. The right path has a maximum incline of 8%, but you can tell that too. With a wheelchair I would only take the left path.

A wonderful tour in the wild Kermeter over footbridges and beautiful beech forest. Ideal for forest bathing. Highly recommended with children. A very high experience value. There are enough benches and loungers on the tour.👍

The Rureifel is in the northern part of the West Eifel in the Düren district, Euskirchen district and the Aachen city region. Hiking in the Rureifel is one of the most beautiful ways to forget all stress, to switch back to your own human level, to take a breath, to become or stay healthy in body and soul. You can hike almost everywhere here.

Nice hike together with @Rennschnecke and @DuNe Bike
