Today @Nicole and I were hiking together in Rhineland-Palatinate, in the Eifel region, in the Brohltal municipality. We started from Niederdürenbach, at the Neuer Maarhof. Today we hiked the Vinxtbachtal premium circular hiking trail.

At the beginning of the tour, you can see Olbrück Castle, which remains visible for quite some time. You can see the Rodder Maar and hike …

The almost 16 km long Vinxtbachtal circular tour is best started at the Rodder Maar hiking car park. The tour leads next to the Rodder Maar, with a wonderful view of Olbrück Castle, past the Königssee, the Weiselstein lookout tower or the “Schau ins Land” lookout point above Dedenbach.
Beautiful and very varied tour with panoramas from the Eifel to …

At first I was skeptical about whether the circular route was nice because of some of the negative reviews. But sometimes you just have to do it and see for yourself. But now to the route: From the very beginning it was a very nice route with fantastic views (far-reaching views). The whole route was very path-based and very varied: …

A very nice round, which, however, should not be walked in bright sunshine, since you are out and about a lot in the open field. However, I would have wished for a little more sun today.
The Rodder Maar is fenced in, but very nice to look at and the town of Königsfeld has a lot of history to offer. …

A varied hike with wide views and a highlight in Königsfeld: the Tante-M shop at Dorfplatz 10. A shop with everything that the villager and hiker's heart desires, without staff, you take what you want and pay with EC cash. Open almost around the clock and on Sundays and public holidays.
