Perlenbach Root Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This wonderful nature trail is in close proximity to the Perlenbach stream. Some surefootedness is required, especially when it is wet, as the exposed roots of the spruce trees can be very slippery.

Wild Daffodil Meadows in Perlenbachtal

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The Perlenbachtal got its name from the freshwater mussels that were once numerous in the creek. After these had almost disappeared, they are now being resettled in hidden places in the stream.

February 27, 2022,Aussichtspunkt von Bieley❤ Großer Bachlauf Runde von Höfen

The Bieley viewpoint is not always accessible because the path that runs through military terrain at the end (Elsenborn military training area) is temporarily closed. Better inform yourself beforehand. If you do the hike around Easter, you can experience the daffodil blossom 😍

When you arrive at the Perlenbach, you can see a beaver landscape that is apparently still being rebuilt. You walk through the beautiful Perlenbach valley to the Bieley rock. You reach the …

Today we walked a typical daffodil trail at a different time of year. I haven't been here in so long that I hadn't realized how wonderful it is. 🥰 The root path at the very beginning of our walk is especially idyllic. ☺️
