Hiking

If you want to hike in the footsteps of the Middle Ages, this route is just right for you. It leads on romantic rocky paths around Neuerburg Castle. The mighty structure forms a splendid ensemble with the parish church of St. Nicholas, the bell tower and today's rectory - former Vogthaus. The Beilsturm, once a watchtower, and the "Koblenz Path" leading over an old defensive wall bring the Middle Ages back to life. The panorama path and the pulpit offer impressive views of the Enz valley and the heart of the picturesque town.

Eligius and Kreuzkapelle, the Mariensäule on the market and the "Schwarzbildchen" - resting in a 700 year old oak tree - give an idea of the piety of the Neuerburger Völkchen. The colorful city park directly on the Enzbach invites you to relax and review the tour. The market square is the start and end point of the hike and is ideal for subsequent culinary refreshments.

Gutland-Balkon Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here it is worth taking a break with a wide view. There is a great lounger to stretch your legs in the air and look at the sky. But also a table and bench set for a picnic.

Highlight • Castle

The ascent to the castle is quite steep, but with the appropriate support, it is definitely worthwhile. The castle itself is also called the youth castle, and accordingly, there are some "exhibits" in the courtyard (knight's armor, stage, dungeon, etc.). But the view from above of the town of Neuerburg is also very beautiful.

On the Neuer-Burg-Weg leisure trail, you'll experience legendary stories, as Knight Kuno von Falkenstein recounts a dramatic tale. On the path around the small town of Neuerburg, you'll experience a dramatic love story at the leisure spots and discover its hiding places.
There are also impressive views of the town and the surrounding area.

I had already copied this tour on which Leonhard accompanied me 3 times from other komootlers. However, expectations weren't that high. Would the 40 minute journey be worth it?

But what of!

After the first 3.5 km, it was already clear that if you can still hike the rest of the way properly, then the hike was worth it!

Yesterday I was out and about in the NaturWanderPark delux in the southern Eifel. 🥾 With the warm ☀️ temperatures and the breathtaking scenery, it felt like we were hiking in Greece or Spain. We were following in the footsteps of Knight Kuno in the Middle Ages on a 12.7 km long rock path around Neuerburg Castle.

A very nice hike with many viewpoints on and around the Neuerburg.
However, good basic fitness is recommended.

There are some great highlights on this tour and I never found the route monotonous.

Short and sweet, highly recommended.

For the first Sunday in the New Year we have chosen a particularly beautiful hike, the Neuer-Burg-Weg.
Unlike the official route description, we don't start in the beautiful Eifel town of Neuerburg, but at Neuerburg Castle of the same name.
With the first rays of sunshine in the New Year, after we have paid a "road toll", we visit the …
