Beaver Habitat on the Kall Stream

Highlight • River

Bite marks from the beaver can be seen everywhere, unfortunately we did not get to see the animal itself. Very interesting

Wooden Bridge in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Bridge

Small bridge overgrown with various plants - nature conservation prohibits keeping the path clear here. A ford would perhaps be even closer to the naturalness of this enchanted crossing.

June 6, 2024,Vossenack: Vier Täler-Wanderung✅⭐️

Nice round in wonderful weather along the valleys of the Tiefenbach, the Bosselbach, the Kall and the Richelbach. I found the slopes full of red foxgloves particularly impressive, unfortunately this is not so easy to see in the photos.
Unfortunately, the path mostly went along wide paved forest paths above the streams, so that you could hardly see anything of …

May 25, 2026,4 Täler Weg Vossenack

Today we spontaneously chose the 4 Valleys Trail in Vossenack. In general, you can follow trail number 56 quite well. We have hiked this trail a few times before, but I hadn't recorded it until now. However, it is always beautiful and you always discover something new. The trail leads from Vossenack past the church, where there is a small …

March 15, 2026,4-Täler EVV 56 - Runde ab Kirche Vossenack

A beautiful loop through the Richelsbach, Kall, Tiefenbach, and Bosselbach valleys. The starting point is the hiking parking lot at the church in Vossenack. The section along the well-maintained "Kallweg" road wasn't to my liking, but the subsequent climb through the Tiefenbach and Bosselbach valleys more than made up for it.

December 25, 2024,WW 56 "Vier Täler" Tour Eifelverein Vossenack

1. Track (December 25, 2024) corresponds to the marked path of the Eifel Association up to about 600m. Shortly before the climb to Vossenack, the marking goes over a bridge and changes to a parallel farm track... in my opinion completely unnecessary, the path along the stream is nicer.
2. For the most part, paved forest and farm tracks. Not …

Today, 20 motivated hikers from the Eifelverein walked the beautiful tour with me. A bridge not available? no matter, courageous 5 women and men through the water and on.
The rest of us took the alternative route. We met again in front of the Mestrenger mill.
The graduation took place in the Bosselbacher Hof. Delicious cakes, coffee and cold drinks, …

May 9, 2024,4 Tälertour von Vossenack mit Ginster🥰🥾

Janny accompanied me on a preliminary hike that I am planning for the Eifel Association.
We were there last year and could have eaten our fill of blackberries.
This time I was hoping for flowering broom and we were not disappointed.
It is a great tour, always with the rippling and rushing of the streams and the many small waterfalls …

May 9, 2024,Auf Schatzsuche - Eifelgold gefunden! 4 Tälertour von Vossenack 🤩

Ruth is leading this hike for the Eifel Association at the beginning of June and I was happy to accept her invitation to the preparatory tour.

We start from the hiking park at the Bosselbacher Hof, cross the road and follow the Bosselbach through the hilly landscape that is wonderfully glowing in all shades of green.
