Tips

Svenja B.

June 19, 2025

The town center of Olef, with its half-timbered houses, has been lovingly restored. However, I almost missed it because the Eifelsteig trail no longer leads through it. A local resident tells me that the bridge leading directly to the town center was swept away during the flood and won't be replaced until next year.
