August 14, 2021,Abtei Himmerod mit Burg Salm durch Niederkail Tour

May 4, 2023,Eifelsteig Etappe 14: Kloster Himmerod - Bruch

A stage with forest, river, meadows. But civilization can also be found here. Sometimes a net in Landscheid, sometimes under the autobahn and then again and again the jet planes from Spangdahlem Air Base thundering over us.
The Eifelsteig stage actually ends in Bruch. But our quarters today are in Niederkail. Since the hiking guide no longer announces any major …

March 5, 2023,Eifelsteig E3 - von Niederkail nach Karl

Stage 3 of our tour on the Eifelsteig (stage 2 was on March 4th, 2023). From Niederkail, the path mainly follows the course of the Salm, and leads along beautiful paths through idyllic nature. After about two thirds of the distance you can see the Himmerod monastery as the highlight of the stage.

September 10, 2022,Eifelsteig Etappe 13: Kloster Himmerod - Bruch

Today it was drizzling when we left Himmerod Monastery at 8:30 am. The anticipation of seeing our Trier friends again was great. We had arranged to meet them from Burg (about the middle of today's stage). As soon as we left, we were able to take off our rain jackets again because the drizzle had stopped. The Eifelsteig follows the …

April 21, 2022,Eifelsteig 13.Etappe / Kloster Himmerod - Bruch

After spending the night in Himmerod Monastery, the 13th stage started early in the morning. The atmosphere around the monastery is absolutely calm and relaxing. The tour itself is varied and offers open fields, river and forest passages. In search of a restaurant we turned off the Eifelsteig before the village of Landscheid and hiked into the town centre. Unfortunately …

May 17, 2022,Wanderung 13.Etape Eifelsteig Himmerod nach Bruch

The 13th stage of the Eifelsteig is again a wonderful natural experience, in Landscheid there is now also an opportunity to take a break. Directly on the Eifelsteig there is a net market with a bakery and butcher's shop with lunch where you can sit in a weather garden even in bad weather. It was great, see photos.
