Lake Müllenborn – often called Müllenborner Weiher – is picturesquely located in the Müllenborn district north of Gerolstein and is a real insider tip for Komoot tours. The idyllic expanse of water, surrounded by cool forests, invites you to stroll, picnic, and enjoy mindful moments by the water. A beautiful, approximately 6km circular trail leads around the lake, past the historic millstone ruins and along the Oosbach stream – ideal for quiet explorations away from the hustle and bustle. Around Müllenborn, you'll learn firsthand about the region's volcanic history: Oversized basalt blocks from the former Rother Kopf dominate the forest landscape, and you'll repeatedly encounter springs, small bridges, and the remains of old mills – hence the name "Mühlenborn" (Millsborn). The village itself, with its chapel and baroque houses on the shore, provides a charming, historic setting for the lake. The lake is not open for swimming, but in summer, you'll often find locals cooling off or fishing here; provided you have a valid license. A visit to the Müllenborn Lake Festival in July is particularly atmospheric – with brass bands, a festival tent, and a convivial village atmosphere. Just a few hundred meters away is the comfortable Landhaus Müllenborn, a 4-star country hotel with a spa, sauna, and sauna terrace – perfect for relaxing after the circular hike. The Eifelsteig trail runs nearby, and cyclists can also find connections to regional routes such as the Eifel-Ardennes Cycle Route.

On the meadow path you come across the small pond. When we were there, there were lots of tadpoles swimming in it.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the village priest bred trout in the maar, which was around 100,000 years old. In the 1920s the water was drained and its quickly overgrown, fertile ground was used as a viewing area. 80 years later, scientists proved that this was a silted maar. During a core drilling, 23 m of animals found tuff remains from the Laacher See eruption 13,000 years ago. In addition, the funnel lies on a geological fault line that runs from northwest to southeast. The renatured maar is around 120 meters in diameter and offers a biotope for numerous birds. When the maar was revived from 2007, the Oosbach was dammed. Source: 111 places in the Eifel that you have to see Further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichholzmaar

Idyllic lake in the middle of the forest. Swimming is clearly allowed here, as the sign on the shore makes clear. Clear recommendation to swim and linger. The peaceful coexistence between swimmers and anglers is noticeable🐟🕊️🏊‍♂️

"The Landal campsite near Stadtkyll appears on the internet as if its world were all right. But she isn't here either. The place is closed. No info anywhere. Drowned meadows, torn power lines... We look for a secluded spot and camp free of charge on the closed site. There are well-occupied fixed camper sites above the camping meadows, so a wash house is open. The associated restaurant is publicly located on the street and so the evening meal is guaranteed. Everything good? Starry sky, suddenly it gets cold at the pond where we are still sitting in the evening. The course is almost 500 meters above sea level. Off to the tent. The coldest night of the journey is upon us. Klausen's sleeping bag corner in the tent draws water out of the ground. I put on almost all my clothes, so to speak, the entire onion, during the night, sit in the overheated toilet for a while and don't think ungratefully about this enormous waste of energy. And about light pollution; the closed square is brightly outshined by the light of the lanterns all night long. Despite it. All good." https://www.komoot.de/tour/777211898
