Exposed Beech Roots in Wolfsschlucht

Highlight • Natural Monument

Those roots are really reminiscent of an octopus. It's amazing that the tree still has such stability.

It leads over the babbling Tönissteiner Bach and connects the moss-covered rock formations with the wildly romantic gorge path. The bridge looks like something out of a fairytale forest, surrounded by ferns, waterfalls, and ancient lava walls.

Wolf Gorge Waterfall and Trass Cliffs

You should definitely go there during the week, on the weekend it is quite crowded. But it's worth it.

December 28, 2023,Wolfsschlucht - Wurzelwerk - Runde von Burgbrohl
Beautiful circular hiking trail with wonderful views and impressive natural forces

October 23, 2021,Nach Burgbrohl
A varied tour through the Wolfsschluch. Very colorful now in autumn. Very slippery on the foliage. First part of the hiking on asphalt.

A short variant of the otherwise around 12km long cave and gorge trail.
However, because of the first 3km, only asphalt and road are only partially recommended.
However, if you are looking for a few highlights over a short distance, this is the place for you.
Otherwise, the complete dream path is the better choice.

The first 1.5 km or so go uphill on a narrow road and an asphalted factory path. Then it goes along a country road into the Wolfsschlucht. From here it is a very beautiful hike with some highlights. On my tour, a few paths were a bit overgrown and I had to go over and under a few fallen trees. …

The hiking weekend had been planned for a long time and then a summer flu came. With the weather, canceling was not an option, then rather with a handbrake and shorter tours than planned. We walked the dream path years ago and really enjoyed it. This time the slimmed-down lap was needed, which only had too much asphalt at the …

For everyone who loves hiking but is afraid to get involved with nature for a second.
95% of the route runs next to roads or through places with constant noise from cars and trucks.


The only nice place was the Fuchsgrube and here too you are of course next to the country road, everything else would also be nice and …

Finally hiking again after my first small hike on Sunday. had hiked.
Yesterday I drove to Burgbrohl in the Eifel volcano..
A nice hike, a bit more asphalt than I would have liked, but when I finally went into the forest in the direction of the Wolfsschlucht, that was forgotten again.. 😊🥾☀️

TRASS...TRASS....CRAZY! 😄 Great, but very strenuous tour. The Trass caves are gigantic to behold...whoever had to dig there has my utmost respect! The path to the Devil's Bone, the volcano and panoramic trail, is very alpine and only recommended for experienced hikers. Burgbrohl is a pretty little town. The last two kilometers were on a road...not recommended.
