Rock Cellar of the Nagelschmidt Brewery

Highlight • Monument

At the "Archäologietour Nordeifel", which the LVR (Landschaftsverband Rheinland) organizes on the first Sunday in October (currently canceled due to the corona pandemic), that was one of the stations that could be visited (including a tour of the interior).

Bürvenicher Berg Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

In clear weather you have a great view over the Eifel. If you are here with your eyes open, you can discover a lot of plants, animals and insects here.

Wind-swept Pine (Bürvenicher Berg)

Highlight • Natural Monument

This jaw immediately caught our eye. A great tree that will hopefully withstand many more storms.

Sternenblick Mondnacht at Hubertuskapelle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Right next to the Hubertus Chapel there is now another “Stargaze.”
These are dedicated to the beautiful dark Eiffel starry sky and offer a lot of information about the night …

Hubertus Chapel, Floisdorf

Highlight • Religious Site

When I came here for the first time, I was surprised. A gem to pause and be quiet. The grounds are very well maintained and invite you to rest. Now I have been here several times and still enjoy it.

Since I cannot take part in the hike led by Stephan on April 21st, I did the hike today with Klaus and two others in perfect hiking weather. The tour takes you along beautiful paths with fantastic views around the Trötschberg and also offers an abundance of yellow flowering rapeseed fields, blossoms on trees in the orchards and a variety …

What a...always...beautiful Eifel loop. Today we were allowed to admire the pasque flowers on the Bürvenicher Berg, everywhere the beautiful views, feel the storm, marvel at the sun, the rain and above all a number of gigantic rainbows. Wet but happy we returned to the car with heated seats .🤣

July 14, 2024,EifelSchleife 2 "Himmel un Ääd" (Stadt Zülpich)

We really liked the Eifel loop "Himmel un Ääd". The tour offers beautiful views, picturesque places and untouched nature. Since you mostly walk across fields and meadows, the tour is not recommended in very hot weather. There are places to stop for refreshments.

You can find more tours of the Eifel loops and Eifel tracks in my own collection:

Anyone who hasn't walked it yet is missing out. Especially now, with the rapeseed in bloom, the views are truly magnificent, with a truly magnificent array of colors. Views of the Stockert, across the Siebengebirge, far into the Cologne Bay, and all the way to the edge of the Bergisches Land...

I don't understand why there are two Eifel loops that are completely the same except for the last part. The Eifel loop BERG UND TAL and the Eifel loop HIMMEL UND ÄÄD, hiked here, run along the same paths for over 9 km. In the last part, the mountain and valley loop shortens slightly, so that the geological hiking trail …

Very nice Eifel loop, lots of open fields, beautiful views. We could see as far as the Siebengebirge. Varied tour, delicious cakes in Floisdorf in the café. Everything was fine. Even a little rain couldn't harm us, it gave us a great rainbow 🌈
It was a beautiful afternoon

Surprise: the read 8 km became 11 and the two Eifel loops ran parallel, only Himmel and Ädd made an additional detour, which I ran at the beginning of the tour. This time the route was very well signposted. I hiked there with my husband about 10 years ago and I remember clearly how we looked for the way forward …
