Wächter Column Königsfeld-Schalkenbach

Highlight • Monument

After the ascent from the village of Königsfeld to the Schauinsland hut - here, among other things, the ceramic path leads along - the hiker passes this impressively worked guardian column.

Schauinsland Shelter & Viewpoint (Dedenbach)

The name "Schauinsland" for this spacious rest hut is not exaggerated: Fantastic views - provided the weather is right - to the Siebengebirge and Westerwald, to the Vinxbachtal and across …

November 3, 2024,Historische Straße - Köhler- und Loheweg

The charcoal burner and tanning path was revised in 2024, so the signposted path may differ from the gpx data. We opted for the old route on the heath at Weiselstein and probably missed a sign because of that... 😱 So: better follow the signs, even if similar paths seem more tempting...

June 6, 2023,Dedenbach - die Mohnblume - Schalkenbach, der Weiselstein und die Heidelandschaft und immer das Siebengebirge im Blick

Dedenbach, quasi Voreifel, is further south, behind the mountains of the Ahr valley and offers a lot of varied nature....... Field and meadow paths, beautiful forest paths and paths, some of which lead through a heathland at the top of the Weiselstein. From the wooden observation tower you have a wonderful all-round view, but even without it it is worth …

January 4, 2026,Köhler- und Loheweg

Today I finally made it back to the Eifel region after a long time. I'd had the Köhlerweg and Loheweg trails on my radar for a while. With the limited free time we all have, we unfortunately have to prioritize. For me, this means constantly asking myself: Which pilgrimage or hiking trail do I want to do right now? Is …

October 8, 2025,Ramersbach: Köhler- und Loheweg

We recently hiked the first stage of the "Ahr-Urft-Weg" (Ahr-Urft Trail). Shortly before Ramersbach, we came across the hiking sign for the "Köhler- und Loheweg" (Charcoal Burners and Loaf Trail). We thought it would be a good idea to add this circular trail to our itinerary before the second stage of the AUW.
And so it turned out: the Köhler- …

April 19, 2022,Über die Höhen des Vinxtbachtals zum Heideparadies Weiselstein 🥾🥾☀️

Bright yellow rapeseed fields, great panoramic views of the Rhine plain, the Siebengebirge and the Westerwald characterize this beautiful hike around the upper Vinxtbachtal. Sus had discovered the tour on the "Natur Aktiv Experience" (NAE) portal. Almost exactly a year ago I was already on the premium circular hiking trail "Vinxtbachtal" and was able to get to know this picturesque …
