April 20, 2025,Lieserpfad - Etappe 1: Boxberg-Daun

It's been on my hiking list for a long time, and now we're finally walking these four stages. The first stage of the Lieserpfad starts at the Lieserquell hiking car park, where we set off in perfect weather.

June 15, 2026,"Lieserpfad" (Etappe 1): Boxberg - Daun (Vulkaneifel)

Today we started the multi-day "Lieserpfad" - with a varied, easy-to-walk stage

- but also repeatedly through small wooded areas,
- through small villages with old churches/chapels,
- with several small bridges over the Lieser river,
- with numerous particularly beautiful resting places,

May 5, 2026,Rheinland-Pfalz (Eifel): Lieserpfad, Etappe 1, Lieserquelle (Boxberg)-Daun. 050526 (34/26)

Does anyone know Jacques Berndorf? No? The name is the pseudonym of the writer and journalist Michael Preute, who became known for his Eifel crime novels with his protagonist Sigi Baumeister, an investigative journalist (perhaps also Preute's alter ego), who often gets himself into trouble when solving mysterious deaths. Preute lived in Dreis-Brück, which belongs to the Daun district, until …

Beautiful first stage. Great weather, not too hot, dry, sunshine and clouds alternating. As well as mostly open landscapes with secluded forest paths.

Over the Easter weekend, Friederike and I booked an apartment in Strohn in the Eifel region because we planned to hike the Lieserpfad from its source to its mouth.

It won't quite work out, as we planned five stages instead of four, but we've made a start today.

June 10, 2025,Lieserpfad Etappe 1: Von Boxberg nach Daun

A very well-marked stage with information boards, offering many beautiful views. The downside is that the final third is very asphalted, and traffic noise is unfortunately constantly audible from the start.

May 18, 2026,Etappe 1: Von Boxberg nach Daun – Lieserpfad

Today we did the 1st stage of the Lieserpfad.
We parked at the community center in Boxberg. From there, it was still about 1km to the start.
It rained well at the beginning, but then the
weather got better and better. The tour led across meadows, fields, and through the forest. This stage wasn't spectacular.
We are now excited about …
