This morning at 7 am I start my hike today, with the still pleasant 20 degrees in Nachtsheim.
The "Nachtsheimer Strühmannspettje" first leads down into the "Mimbachtal". After one kilometer, a short ascent follows, which is done via serpentines, to the "Heinzelmännchens Höhle". For children, there is a direct ascent with a rope.
Further up there is a nice resting …

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. …

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 …

Inspired by Sabine 🦁 (reiselustsabine.blogspot.com/), komoot.de/tour/661738327

An all-round successful circular hiking trail that a few volunteers "made" there: comfortable hiking trails and paths, scrambling passages, great views, lots of history and always little surprises along the way. The only drawback: too few benches ;-)

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, …
