October 10, 2021,EifelSchleife (Impro): Vom Mühlensee zum EifelBlick Kommern

Better not if there is a flea market in the Mühlenpark (parking!). And even better not in autumn, when the high corn obstructs the view at the EifelBlick. Otherwise, a nice round improvised past the family destinations Mühlenpark, summer toboggan run, open-air museum, and very contemplative sections in between. If you want the original, you better take a look at …

We chose today's hike based on the "probability of mud". The choice fell on the Eifel loop from Mühlensee to the Eifelblick near Kommern. We shortened it a bit and our plan worked. Hardly any mud found 😉
There were beautiful, easy to walk forest paths, but also a lot of gravel and asphalt.
Beautiful view of the Eifel and …

March 27, 2023,Altusknipp und EifelSchleife „Vom Mühlensee zum Eifelblick“

My tour today with completely crazy snow/sun capers was the Eifel loop "from Mühlensee to Eifelblick", albeit in a slightly modified form.
On the one hand, fortunately, I included the Altusknipp and the Eickser Waldkapelle. I think otherwise the round might have been a little less beautiful 😊
Although the Mühlensee is quite nice, it is right next to the …

December 16, 2021,EifelSchleife 9 Vom Mühlensee zum Eifelblick

Today I was able to take advantage of the nice weather for a short hike. Even if this loop of the Eifel has a high proportion of asphalt, I still liked it. Beautiful views, narrow paths through the Eickser Busch, past the Mühlensee ... if you don't mind the tar under your feet, you should give this loop a chance.

Today I went hiking with my daughter. She wanted to hike first and then go to the sauna. So I chose a tour in Mechernich so that we didn't have to drive too far to the Eifeltherme afterwards.

The Eifel loop from Mühlensee to Eifelblick starts at the Mühlensee car park in Kommern.

Finally again! Eifel loops are a guarantee for nice, well-marked laps: wanderwelt-nordeifel.de/eifelschleifen.html. The road was mostly dry. Traffic noise at the beginning and end.

After a long break on the Eifel loop, we were on the road again today. What can I say, it was just a lot of fun to be in nature again. Despite a few rain showers it was a complete success. The route is suitable for everyone as there are few gradients and impassable paths. TOP hike on a Sunday. …
