Freilinger Lake Picnic Meadow

Highlight • Lake

Small but nice...
Really beautiful lake, absolutely calm and relaxed, especially in autumn. Nothing for a long journey but if you are in the area, especially in the golden season, worth a trip!

Weilerbach Waterway

Highlight • River

We were surprised by the tilted water level gauge and thought the "E"s or "3"s must be smaller/larger due to the tilt. Well, travel is educational. We found what we …

Well then @Frank: Actually, I wanted to go boating on the lake, but my friend said it was time to get our legs moving again. Since there's an Eifel loop there, which we've done before, but it was a long time ago, we parked by the lake again today and went through the already hot and sunny field. Lots of …

It was drizzling at the beginning. We still did the little walk and it was really worth it: five deer, six hares, a few coots, lots of snails and a few perch... the path was easy to walk despite the wetness and at the end the café by the lake was even open... there was a greyhound meeting there, and …

The Eifel loop "Around Lake Freilinger" is a beautiful circuit that is also suitable for children. In summer, you can cool off in the lake after the hike and the nearby campsite also offers rental accommodation.

It was a lovely walk on easy paths suitable for strollers, with lots of little highlights along the way. What was particularly nice was that you could let your gaze wander far away.

The Eifel loop "Freilinger See" runs for a good 10 kilometers through a beautiful landscape ... and if you prefer it cool and wet, you can jump into the Freilinger See on this spring-like day despite the low water temperatures after the end of the Eifel hike. In fact, we saw two brave swimmers, we ourselves preferred the final stop …
