A round trip that takes you along different paths, through forests and across open spaces. You can enjoy wide paths, great views and various highlights, such as the Heinzelmännchen cave...

I saw the first hike in 2023 in 2022 at @Sabine 🦁 and because I found the name of the circular hiking trail so funny, the round was saved. Today it was finally time. The path has been lovingly designed by the pensioners' group 'Work instead of wilting'. We were expecting a leisurely trail, nothing pretentious for New Year's Day. …

March 22, 2022,Nachtsheimer Strühmannspettje Rundwanderung

A nice hike around the village of Nachtsheim on the path of straw men.
From the parking lot it goes a few meters further with the Strühmann logo on tour.
The round trip is perfectly marked.
It goes out of town through fields and into the forest and down into the Mimbachtal.
The ascent to the Heinzelmännchens Höhle was pretty …

I've had this lovingly designed tour on my list for a long time and I really enjoyed it, despite the rain in between. You walk in a large circle around Nachtsheim and often have the Stephanus Church in view. The proximity to the Nürburgring is unmistakable.
@Die_Ute , thanks for the tip about the sticks and also to take a …

With the "Nachtsheimer (Hust) Tralala" you more or less circle the small town of Nachtsheim in the Vordereifel and it's best to start in the parking lot between the school and the cemetery. The path initially leads through the forest to the first striking point, the cozy cave of the brownies. From there we continue through fields, meadows and forests, …

Today's circular hike takes me around the village of Nachtsheim. You can get to the path from the parking lot at the Realschule Plus via a 600 m long access path.
This naming "Strühmannspettje" establishes a connection to the "Strühmannen" (Strüh = Low German f. straw), as the Nachtsheimers were called by the surrounding towns when payment for the delivered …
