Just take a break on the benches and let your gaze wander: the Eifel is at your feet! A short stop in the chapel, which is always open, makes the whole thing a special experience.

It is nice and varied not to walk on wide paths here, but to continue the hike on a narrow path (called "Eselspättche" in the Rhenish dialect). However, surefootedness is a prerequisite if you want to walk here.

After my hiking companion had to cancel for today, I headed off alone to the Ahr Valley to Schuld. I started my hike at the cemetery and walked right through the village.
