"Wide views and the impressive Laacher See, over which you can see the Maria Laach monastery, are a delight on this trail. The "alpine" ascent to the Krufter Ofen is physically demanding, but the reward is a great view. Sure-footedness is required here, as there is an increased risk of slipping, especially when wet. An alternative route has been designated to avoid this area."

"Unique insights into the volcanic past at Eppelsberg, live volcanism at Laacher See with a view of the Maria Laach monastery, magnificent views of the Krufter Waldsee and wonderful views of the Pellenz."

Description of the dream path Pellenzer Seepfad:

"The tour begins at the car park at the Roman tumulus in Nickenich. The path first circles an idyllic valley before a short climb leads past the impressive ash wall (Black Wall) left by the Laacher See volcano 13,000 years ago. The location also impresses with its wide view of Nickenich.

After a short climb, it is worth taking a detour to rest at the Hermann hut with a great panoramic view. The path then goes slightly downhill and leads to the edge of the open-cast mine on the Eppelsberg. After a passage through a mixed forest, you reach the rest area at the Krufter Waldsee. The summit assault begins on moderately rising forest paths, but shortly before the rock it goes steeply up, along an impressive rock niche, to the Teufelskanzel rock ledge with a fabulous view towards Kruft and Neuwieder Becken. A comfortable high-altitude path leads to the "Am Krufter Ofen" shelter, then it continues in serpentines down through a mighty beech forest. The path leads across open fields to Lake Laach and gives you your first glimpse of Maria Laach Monastery.

Along the nearby shore, it is worth taking a detour to the lake shore to admire the so-called Moffettes. The path soon turns right and climbs steeply. Then comfortable forest paths and the crossing of the L 116 lead through a mixed forest to the Celtic tree circle. The last section of the route is characterized by recurring magnificent views of the Siebengebirge and the Pellenz. Along the edge of the forest, the path curves around the sports field and back to the Roman tomb."
