Today we go from Lilienthal to Borgfeld, from stop to stop, with a detour through the Wümmewiesen. First, we walk across the floodplain forest, then along the Wörpe with a detour to Murkens Hof, where a sustainability fair is taking place. Through the Butendieker Gehölz and briefly along roads, we reach

From the Frankweiler hiking parking lot, we head towards St. Johann, and already here you have the best view of the striking Trifels Castle. Then we hike on partly steep and not entirely safe paths up to the mighty Orensfels.
In between, we take a break on the relax loungers in front of the Naturfreundehaus

From St. Martin, we first hike through the vineyards, always with a view up to Hambach Castle. Monstrous harvesting machines move between the vines. The grapes are practically harvested by wind, leaving only the grape stems.
The ascent to the castle is very steep and arduous, luckily not too long. Hambach

Somehow we don't feel like steep climbs anymore today. We miss a great pavilion with a beautiful view, but instead we comfortably take the chairlift up to the Riedburg, also with a great view. We then follow the Blättersbergweg to the Ludwigsturm, which we naturally climb up the spiral staircase to enjoy

We hike through the center of St. Martin, first on Einlaubstrasse and then a short path along the Kropsbach. At the edge of the forest are the Bellachini fountain and the pond. Then it goes steeply uphill to the Schwalbenfelsen.
Later we find a great covered picnic spot with a view of the valley.

The Ulmener Maar is, at approx. 11,000 years old, the youngest volcano in the Eifel.
We walk along the shore and climb up to Ulmen Castle.
Since 2023, it has been possible to walk through a connecting tunnel to the older maar, the Jungfernweiher. It is a great experience to walk through this narrow tunnel, definitely recommended.

The Traumpfad Nette-Schieferpfad impresses us with the beautiful paths along the river Nette with its mirroring water. A highlight is the small waterfall.
At the heights, we have a good view and then hike along the old railway line through a well-lit tunnel and over a viaduct, which is quite an experience

We are walking the circular route around the Laacher See and repeatedly have a view of the distant Maria Laach Abbey, our main destination for the day. The tour through the monastery complex is interesting and we are very impressed by the old library with its countless books on the shelves, the ornate

In Ettringen, we first pass the entrance to the currently still operational quarry and then climb up to the Bellerberg with its wonderful, wide view into the gently rolling landscape.
Afterwards, we walk along the edge of the basalt quarry and can occasionally look deep down at the extraction work.
Fantastic

Monreal is a picturesque small town with many half-timbered houses. Before we take a tour, we first start at Monreal station and hike the Traumpfad Monrealer Ritterschlag to the destination Löwenburg. Of course, it immediately goes steeply uphill again on stony paths, but at the top, we have a beautiful

We have landed back in the Rhein-Mosel-Eifel region of the dream paths. Today we wander dreamily along the Förstersteig and, after all the effort of climbing uphill, enjoy the beautiful views. This landscape of the Vulkaneifel is characterized by the many quarries. With the extraction and production

Park Links der Weser is often our destination. There are beautiful paths here and wide views reaching as far as the cathedral towers and the airport. After rainfall, however, the wooden walkways in shaded areas are slippery and we have to walk carefully.
