December 26, 2025,Das untere Kalltal ab Zerkall

A walk around the lower Kall valley in frosty minus eight degrees. It's a real shame that the bridges still haven't been repaired. Things look quite different in Rhineland-Palatinate these days.

A nice hike on and around Zerkall in a very beautiful landscape. The disadvantage is that pedestrian bridges over the Kall have not yet been rebuilt. You would like to have tourists in the region, but hiking routes that are not possible are not suitable. The forestry authorities in the Hürtgenwald, in the Eifel National Park, have designed the hiking …

"Due to the flood events, a total of 5 bridges over the Kall were destroyed in the Kall valley and it will take some time to replace them". That's the official warning right at the starting point in Zerkall. Otherwise along the Kall over the popular meadow path, this time we were able to hike our little round a little …

July 18, 2025,An und durch die Kall

This morning, while looking for a shady hike for today, I stumbled upon Gerda's tour. I haven't been here in a long time because of the broken bridges over the Kall. But then I saw that at low tide, crossing the Kall is possible because of the stones!

Many thanks to Gerda if she happens to read this.

IMPORTANT (as of April 30, 2023):
The path leads to two places where you have to cross the Kall without a bridge. This was planned for fun for my daughter. There is no other way across the creek - the stone crossing at the second point only works from a step length of 4 meters.
However, you can bypass the …

July 17, 2025,durch die Kall ins wunderschöne Kalltal….

...Okay, we could have taken the detour.
Since detours are usually boring, we opted for the more exciting option. However, this is only recommended at low tide, with sturdy shoes with good traction, and hiking poles.
The Kall Valley is simply beautiful, and if you want to cover even more kilometers and elevation gain... you could go up to Schmidt, …
