Already hiked or cycled past 100 times, but still impressive

Beautiful trails, something for everyone in terms of view, width, etc.

The Stolberg district of Breinig has a true landscape jewel in the Schlangenberg nature reserve. What fascinated me most was the yellow calamine violet.

The cycle path here leads between the “Kaiserfelsen”.

Very nice circular route around the Kalltalsperre...

The circular route around the Kalltalsperre is very well developed and surrounded by an impressive rock and forest landscape. Regardless of whether you are hiking or cycling, the Kalltalsperre is always a worthwhile destination.
