    Cycling

    From Schmidtheim to the Kyll via Wirtschaftsweg. Asphalted and partly gravel. Only partially suitable for RR.

    Magnificent passage through fields and hedges. Here nature seems to be still intact, today we saw several red-backed shrike and many golden bunting.

    Hiking

    The Glaadtbachtal is one of the quieter and less touristy valleys in the region. The Glaadtbach flows through a narrow low mountain valley with meadows, wetlands, wooded slopes, and small villages.
    The area is strongly volcanic and geologically shaped – typical for the Eifel. You can find old rock formations, stream meadows, and calcareous soils. Historically, the region was primarily agricultural, later small mills, ore mining, and forestry were added.
    Of particular natural interest are the wetlands and near-natural stream sections. Numerous amphibians, rare insect species, and typical Eifel bird species live there.
