뷔데스하임 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

The Dreesbach Hut is a small, idyllically situated refuge near Gerolstein, on the edge of the forest south of the village of Müllenborn. It is located not far from the Dreesbach stream – a small stream typical of the Eifel region – and serves as a rest stop for hikers and cyclists on numerous local trails. The hut itself is simple, with benches and a covered shelter, nestled in tranquil nature. In the immediate vicinity are forest paths, small springs, and the starting point for various circular hikes, including those towards Lissingen and the Blutkreuz (Blood Cross). For Komoot users, the Dreesbach Hut offers a lovely opportunity to take a quiet break or plan a family-friendly short hike as an intermediate destination.

At this point wild-romantic with rest area

The iron ore mining here was particularly abundant with a thickness of 40 m and was mined in tunnels.

From here you can enjoy a great view when the weather is good. Take some time and listen to the great brass music and sign the guest book... and please leave everything intact :-)

The pilgrim chapel invites you to come and relax, perhaps say a short prayer and continue your journey highly motivated.
