Neffelsee Loop Trail

Highlight • Trail

Especially in spring, when the sun delights us with its first warming rays, a walk around the Neffelsee is very worthwhile.

The tour is probably nicer in winter. Unfortunately, you can only see the lake in 2 places. Otherwise everything is overgrown with trees. But nice wide paths for walking and cycling.

October 10, 2025,🇩🇪 20251010 - Rundgang um den herbstlichen Neffelsee bei Zülpich 🍁🍂 🍃

The weather wasn't too bad this afternoon; there was even a bit of sun. So we set off for a short but lovely walk around Lake Neffelsee near Zülpich. As you can see from the photos, we encountered some very photogenic lake dwellers. 🦢🦆🪿🤗
Wishing everyone a lovely afternoon.
Greetings from KS 🙋‍♀️🙋🏼🙋‍♂️

October 21, 2025,Morgens am Neffelsee

This morning I took a walk around Lake Neffelsee near Füssenich (Zülpich). While I didn't spot many waterfowl (only a few geese crossed my path), the colorful autumn foliage and the varied weather, with wind, sun, and drizzle, gave me a feeling of both a golden October and a miserable November. In conclusion, Lake Neffelsee has something to offer in …

Encouraged by the tours of @Stefanie and @Maylo, today we went on a nice little walk around Lake Nephelsee. We could observe ducks🦆 and swans and numerous dragonflies everywhere near the shore.
Unfortunately, Komoot did not record the end of the tour properly.

November 13, 2024,🥾 Neffelsee

Today I picked up my son from the vocational school in Füssenich 🎒🚗. From there we decided to take a little walk around the Neffelsee 🦆🌲. The lake is practically right behind the school, so that was super convenient!

We walked around the lake once... well, almost! 😂 Because somehow we got confused on the map and ended up wandering …
