April 28, 2024,Am Bruchbach – Schloss Eicks Runde von Eicks

A really nice circuit (Eifel loop Eickser Busch) except that I took a wrong turn on the last little section, so it was a bit shorter.
Other than that, a very relaxed circuit that you can easily manage even if you're a little under the weather.

Today we used the good weather for the Eifel loop Eickser Busch. This loop has a lot to offer.

We found the baroque half-timbered houses in the hostel, which are located around the village square, particularly impressive. On the village square there is a very nice playground and benches that invite you to linger. In the KuLaDig information system, there …

Today I did a loop around the Eifel. And I have to say, I have two hearts beating in my chest. The scenery is beautiful, of course. But most of the route is on asphalt, which I find very unfortunate. That's why I left the marked path again shortly before the end and went a little further through the forest.

How time flies - today we have to go back again. But there is still a small time window for a hike. It goes again in the district of Euskirchen and there in the Mechernich district of Eicks. We park at a historic location - a Roman horse-changing station has been converted into a parking lot with an information board. …

What a lovely bow! Simple, narrow paths lead through "bushy" idyllic forest. The hostel with its beautiful half-timbered houses is just as worth a visit as the beautiful village of Eicks with its castle as a highlight. And from the hostel to Eicks it goes along the beautiful Bruchbach. A really recommendable tour!

You will then reach the hostel, where you will be greeted by beautiful half-timbered houses from the 17th century. In the direction of Glehn, a beautiful view awaits you, which at the end, with a view over the roofs of …
