The Gillesbachtal is a hiking highlight in every season, but it deserves special attention in early spring, around mid-April, when the Eifel's largest occurrence of pasque flowers is in bloom here.
Guided hikes from the Eifel Nature Park are even offered at this time.

Hiking

The Gillesbachtal offers beautiful hiking trails, e.g. between the train station in Urft and Marmagen, in spring you can also find plenty of wild garlic and on the poor meadow slopes you can admire numerous blooming pasque flowers along a narrow path.

The Marmagen local branch has put a lot of effort into the signage, the information and the rest areas. Very nice hiking area.
