シャイドの峡谷・トップ6

水仙の花が咲き誇り、この美しい谷を何千もの黄色い点で彩っています。

ヤンスバッハタールは、オーレフ川の静かで自然のままの支流で、オーレフ川沿いのスイセン畑の近くにあります。ナルツィッセンルートよりもはるかに知名度は低いですが、静かな場所を好むハイカーにとってはまさに隠れた名所です。 小さなヤンスバッハが谷を流れ、湿った草原、鬱蒼とした森、自然に近い小川といった典型的な中低山岳の風景を作り出しています。春には、ここでも時折野生のスイセンが見られますが、本流ほど広範囲ではありません。その代わりに、ヤンスバッハタールは、その本来の姿、賑やかさの少なさ、そして特にリラックスした雰囲気で際立っています。

The Holzwarche nature reserve is part of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park. It is considered one of the last and most important refuges of the wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) in West-Central Europe. The valley's landscape is characterized by damp meadows, streams, and light woodlands, providing ideal conditions for a diverse array of spring flowers. Especially in April, millions of wild daffodils transform the meadows into a vibrant sea of yellow blossoms – a spectacular natural phenomenon.

Section of the old railway line to Jünkerath, Germany. It runs in a deep bed here at Losheimergraben. The intersecting paths are therefore not always easy to follow because they cross over high bridges. In this case, there is an alternative path along the line.

The Jansbach valley is a remote stream valley on the border of Belgium and Germany near Rocherath. The Jansbach is a tributary of the Olef. The stream meanders through beautiful flowery meadows amidst tall Norway spruce forests. A few years ago there were also many Norway spruces (Picea abies) right along the stream, but these were removed as part of the Tälerprojekt. Now the valley is developing further and further into an elongated silver ribbon of flowery meadows with countless special flowers, butterflies and other animals.

Nice hiking trails in this valley. The trails are not difficult, the views are wonderful. 👌

A beautiful valley. The Jansbach stream winds through the meadows. In spring, wild daffodils bloom here. A dream!

The Vennbahn had to be deep in a ditch here to avoid becoming too steep. The enormous excavation work at this location would have been the origin of the name Losheimer'graben'. The town of Losheim is a little further in Germany. There was probably no habitation there at that time (early 20th century).
