Here I was with my parents for a Sunday trip 50 years ago. Many hiking trails, the Manderscheider castles nearby and a lot of volcanic Eifel all around.

You can rest well in the Heidsmühle - whether breakfast, coffee & cake or a complete meal. Here is something for everyone. I am always for trout.

Open every day - no day off.

Cosmos Cycle Path – First Galaxies Formation Sculptures

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice, almost exclusively paved path. Little difference in altitude. Good for kids. Fantastic varied landscape along the small Kyll. Cosmic explanations on the great sculptures. Highlight at the start in Daun in the spa park, be sure to plan some time there ... fantastic botanical complex. Ponds, water fountain, playground, treading pool, fitness course. And highlight in Meerfeld, Meerfeldermaar ... be sure to pack your swimwear. Officially allowed. More information at Eifel.info.de

Big Bang Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The Kosmosradweg is a cycling route that opens up a part of the Vulkaneifel region on an almost level route.

It connects the Eifel town of Daun with Meerfeld and the largest Eifelmaar, the Meerfelder Maar. In addition to the natural landscape of the region, it offers an insight into our solar system and the cosmos. It attempts to convey a sense of the gigantic distances and time spans of the universe surrounding us. The route is divided into two sections. Between the Daun spa park and the Bleckhausener Mühle, there are models of the individual planets, scaled in size and distance from the sun. Here, one meter covered corresponds to 500,000 km in reality. In the second section between the bridge at the Bleckhausener Mühle, which crosses the Kleine Kyll, and the Meerfelder Maar, the distance covered does not represent distances, but time periods. Each meter here corresponds to three million years. The time from the Big Bang to the present day is demonstrated.

The family-friendly route is uniformly marked with the cycle path logo in both directions. (Wiki)
