July 30, 2023,Kakushöhle - Runde um Vollem

A round that sends you over many wide and paved paths and through two villages. It offers beautiful views and distant views, a few paths and finally the highlight, the Kakus Cave, where you can also stop at the café. It is ideal for hikers who do not like to walk on narrow paths...

Today we did a wonderful tour from Mechernich Dreimühlen to the Kakushöhle. I really like this corner of the Eifel, it is so beautifully hilly and everything is so wonderfully light green. It was a wonderful spring day.

September 7, 2025,250907 🇩🇪 NRW - NAE 51: Kakushöhle, Römerkanal und Steinkreuze bei Mechernich

This NAE hike was once again varied and interesting. Not quite as many trails this time, but still recommended.
There's something special about not driving to Kaukus Cave, but incorporating it into a hike... It's been on my to-do list for a long time...

Today 9 participants of "Hiking in the Euregio" made a wonderful hike through the varied and sometimes rough landscape around Vussem and Eiserfey, with the famous Kakus caves and Kartsteinfelsen. In the beginning there was a fierce freezing wind, but soon we came into sheltered valleys and the temperature became more comfortable. The caves were imposing and a bit mysterious. …

Today @Ute and I were in the Eifel in Mechernich Dreimühlen. We started from the great Kakushöhle.
We were already in the car in Bonn and spontaneously changed our plans completely. We actually wanted to drive northeast to the Sieg/Westerwald. However, continuous rain was forecast for several hours.
So we drove west to the Eifel, through the big rain front, …
