Forest stream in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Very beautiful, relatively open valley, which offers shady places, but also sunlight. The Tiefenbach ripples over rock into the valley.
It is a shame, however, that it runs behind barbed wire in many places below the oil mill.

Oil mill in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Monument

A little way outside of Dedenborn lies the former oil mill in the Tiefenbach Valley between Dedenborn and Kesternich. A very beautiful, dreamy place.

Tiefenbach Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Very original:
Someone put the table and bench in the Tiefenbach, so that you can take a foot bath, but you can also sit there with your feet dry.

Dedenborn Oil Mill

Highlight • Historical Site

Only the foundation walls of the house in which the grinder was housed remain. Opposite the house is a small quarry stone house as the only remaining remnant of a larger building from the 19th century.

Today we went on a hike that was recently shared by @Helga,immer mit Toni 🐾. We liked it so much that we made a minor change to it today. All I can say is that it was a fantastic hike. But see for yourself, I think the photos speak for themselves. There's only one thing left for me to say …

Nice round from Eicherscheid, you could enjoy the autumn colors again. The streams and the paths at the oil mill are well filled and (our 😉😂) constant splashing was our companion.
