July 5, 2025,Runde von Kallmuth mit herrlichem Ausblick

Today we set off from Kallmuth on a walk that promised magnificent views, and that's exactly what it was. With blooming flower meadows and golden fields, nature showed itself at its most beautiful. 😍 The walk also led past the Buchholz and Badesbenden ponds. Unfortunately, the former was inaccessible because the bank was completely overgrown 🤷. But at the Badesbenden …

August 18, 2023,#eifelliebe "Soweit das Auge reicht"

From the Mechernich Mining Museum over narrow paths, through dense forest, wide forest roads, dizzy heights, sleepy towns and lots of farsightedness... as far as the eye can see, the description of this Eifel Spur tour hits the mark! A perfect day in the perfect place. After the fog cleared, I was more than overwhelmed. Added to that was that …

April 25, 2026,MECHERNICH - EifelSpur Soweit das Auge reicht

This hiking trail was certified in 2024 and is truly beautiful. Great panoramic views and very entertaining because you are constantly fascinated anew. The original trail is unfortunately partially closed, but a detour is signposted. If you start from the parking lot in the opposite direction, you automatically follow this detour. If, however, you take the original route – as …

September 7, 2024,EifelSpur Soweit das Auge reicht !

We started our hike from the Mechernich Mining Museum in perfect hiking weather.
The sections of the route were so varied.
The many fantastic views were particularly special.
From Galgennück you could see the Petersberg in the Siebengebirge, 44 km away.
The sky was spectacular!
The section along the Bleihalde is also beautiful, it is covered with pine trees, broom …

I had just saved this Eifel trail, which I only recently became aware of.

The tour is a dream, especially in this weather.
There are wonderful views into the distance everywhere, it's really fun and the name of the tour really says it all.

Adventure hike from the Eifelverein, well organized with snacks, barbecues and music. The Eifelspur was modified a bit, but really beautiful

Beautiful hike through the Mechernich region with magnificent views. This tour largely follows the Eifel trail "As far as the eye can see", slightly modified. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

December 30, 2024,Eifelspur 'Soweit das Auge reicht' - Ab Mechernich

Today I headed towards Mechernich because better but colder weather was forecast there and I walked an official EifelSpur route. This has since been changed because the 2021 floods caused damage to the mountains and some paths are no longer passable. Even though there were a few asphalt sections, the views were really beautiful to Weisweiler, Zülpicher Börde, Stockert, Siebengebirge …
