The rest area with the apt name "Schöne Aussicht" offers just that.

In the footsteps of Gerda and Walter. Thanks for your inspirations!
Unfortunately, we were too late for the cake feast, at 5 p.m. there was nothing left. So we drove to Heimbach, where we were lucky and were able to enjoy a nice round in the sunny evening light. We have to go here again. Can anyone recommend a nice …

March 2, 2025,Eifeler Steilküste, Weg Nr. 19 ab Heimbach

Group hike with the Eifelverein BAM. The start was moved from Schmidt to Heimbach. The original route was shortened due to the asphalt in the Schmidt area.
It was still foggy at the start, but the sun soon came out. A wonderful carnival Sunday. ⛅☀️☀️🥳

June 23, 2024,Eifeler Steilküste Nr. 19 teilweise u.a. ab Heimbach

The original track, -14.1 km- has been changed. The start and finish area has been moved to Heimbach and some local roads in Schmidt have been omitted. This shortened the asphalt-heavy part. Otherwise it is mostly the marked tour no. 19.

There were a lot of fallen trees along the way, but the forest workers were busy.

None of this detracted from the beautiful tour and the vitamin D. Rursee is always beautiful.

This Sunday we went on a walk with 4 participants from "Wander in der Euregio", which was chosen by Martina.
In 2019 this was one of the first hikes as a group with the new name "Wandern in der Euregio" and it was a pleasure to relive this tour.
