We are inspired by Eifelfranke. hiked this wonderful tour today. Very beautiful, varied paths through forest, fields, meadows and fields with wonderful views of nature. The last stretch is even reminiscent of the Toscana of the Eifel and the Lampertstal. Great hike, highly recommend.
Thank you Eifelfranke

In the best weather, a very nice round through the sun, hardly through the forest, through the Voreifel with a bit of juniper and again and again on the tour you could look towards the radio telescope near Eschweiler

Always a special feature of the landscape: the limestone hilltops near Nöthen (near Bad Münstereifel). Further information at NABU:

On the northern horizon you can see the astropeiler on the Stockert, Germany's first radio telescope.

We almost 100% followed a hike from the hiking blog “Eifelsucht”, which I highly appreciate and recommend. We've been in the area before. And …

On New Year's Day I went to the Eifel for a short hike. You can always find really great tours on the platform naturaktiverleben.de.
The tours there are characterized by the route, which is usually far away from the other hiking trails.
Today's tour near Bad Münstereifel leads almost exclusively along farm roads and paths. Some of the softened ground …

Again I found a very nice tour at NaturAktivErleben. This time a short round in the NSG Eschweiler Tal and Kalkkuppen.

From the hiking car park and the Gilsdorf Tempelanlage bus stop, you start on the Jakob-Kneipp-Berg. From there there are beautiful views over Pesch and the Eschweiler valley.

Today I was out and about in the role of path sponsor for hiking trail no. 137 from the NAE.
The path sponsors check the sponsored path at least once a year.
Are there any unexpected obstacles, are all the benches still in good condition, are the paths still passable?
With foresight, I took my pruning shears with me.

A wonderful round of "actively experience nature", which I cannot offer as a guided hike, as some meadow paths are so overgrown that you simply cannot walk them relaxed...so experience nature actively. I will change the round a little bit and then include it in my hiking program.
