August 8, 2024,Hotspot Nord-Eifel „Obermaubach“

The Obermaubach hiking area with its reservoir has always been a hotspot in the North Eifel. Numerous hiking trails, a forest chapel, wonderful panoramic views and numerous places to sit invite visitors to Obermaubach again and again. There is also a beautiful children's playground with a shelter in the forest. The Friesian stud farm Mausauel is also within easy reach …

We've been walking this lovely little trail every now and then for years. It was also very popular when the children were little, because there's a playground just before you get back to the reservoir.

Nature is slowly waking up from hibernation again. Hikes like this are even …

November 15, 2023,Ausblick auf Obermaubach – Waldkapelle (Eifelblick) Runde ab Leversbach

The Angel View is indeed a heavenly viewpoint. The panoramic view presented at this idyllic vantage point and further along the path to Gerda Rössler's refuge continues all the way to the forest chapel with a gigantic view of the Eifel, which extends from the Obermaubach reservoir over Untermaubach Castle to the heights of the northern Eifel.

Did or did another hike at home today. Walk, we just wanted to see the reservoir and the home of higher locations again. That wasn't a spectacular lap.
The only thing was the view up from the forest chapel down to Obermaubach and Untermaubach. Strangely enough, there was nothing to see today, neither insects or butterflies nor other animal species, …

September 24, 2025,Zur Waldkapelle Obermaubach

Today, Gisela, Gittemaus, and I went for a walk from Obermaubach. We were lucky that the Eifel Association (or whoever) completely cleared the views from the Panorama Trail. On my previous tours here, there were no views to enjoy.
