A shorter hike was planned today because we wanted to use it to take pictures. That's why we decided to do the tour "On winding paths - theme tour 7" of the Eifel National Park.
A path "... winding downhill in serpentines in spruce and oak forests". This is how part of this tour is described in the themed tour …

Today it was supposed to be the "T7" - but right at the beginning there was a large construction site at the spa, so we couldn't cross the bridge. So we first did a loop through Gemünd. After a steep climb to Wolfgarten in the fog, a nice loop through the forest and back along the Urft. At the end …

I started today's tour in the Kneipp spa town of Gemünd from the parking lot at Marienplatz, which is not far from the actual starting point, the Gemünd National Park Gate. Passing the spa park, it soon goes over narrow paths up the oak-covered slopes of the Bernersknipp past the "Kaiseiche" in the direction of Wolfgarten. Shortly before the Kaisereiche, …

Beautiful forest paths in idyllic peace. Gemünd is nowhere near as far as the Ahr Valley, Stolberg and Eschweiler. Here, many traces of the flood can still be seen in the city center

Today it was supposed to be quite hot again. So I needed a hike with a lot of forest! And if possible on higher ground. I found what I was looking for in the "pre-made" theme tours in the Eifel: No. 7 "On winding paths". The route is described on a whole number of websites, with variants between 10 and …

Thanks to @EifelFranke we discovered this themed tour of the national park - thank you!
Start and finish are in the center of Gemünd, ideal for parking, grabbing provisions or for a final stop, ice cream parlor and restaurant are next door. Immediately after crossing the Urft, it goes up on a narrow path, after which it remains rather flat …
