Hiking

This dream trail offers an impressive combination of adventurous paths, steep rock faces, expansive fields, and breathtaking views. The starting point is at the Pyrmont Mill with its rushing waterfalls. A varied trail leads uphill and downhill through forests and meadows to the Elzbach stream.

Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to stop and enjoy the views at viewpoints, such as the summit cross on the Sammetzkopf. Following the stream, you'll pass the impressive cliffs of the Teufelskammer and finally reach the medieval Pyrmont Castle. The rest of the circular route takes you past rock formations and ivy-covered caves, along a valley path, back to the starting point.

A tour organized by the Rhine-Moselle-Eifel Tourist Board.

Sammetzkopf Summit and Panoramic View of Maifeld

Highlight • Summit

Those exploring the dream trail "Pyrmonter Felsensteig" will reach the highest point of the route on the Sammetzkopf. There, an illuminated summit cross stands prominently, even in the dark. From the Sammetzkopf, an impressive view opens up: It stretches as far as Münstermaifeld with its magnificent collegiate church and further to the volcanoes of the Eastern Eifel. The wide panoramic view over the plateau forms a fascinating yet harmonious contrast to the narrow paths in the Elz Valley.

This morning, after not having walked for over a week, we threw our backpacks, hiking boots and good mood in our Koukleum-mobile and drove towards Burg Pyrmont to do a 12 kilometer walk there. 🥾🇩🇪 This walk was really cool and is one of the nicer walks we have done recently. 😍

This is a really nice way! 🤩🤩🤩

Adventurous paths and steep rock faces alternate with expansive fields and beautiful views. Particularly worth seeing is the section of the path along the Elzbach, as well as the medieval Pyrmont Castle and the idyllic waterfall at the Pyrmonter Mühle.

🤩😍Super beautiful!

With the excellent autumn weather, @Bonnie24 and I decided to hike the Pyrmonter Felsensteig dream trail today.

From October onwards, if you want to stop at the mill after the tour, it is recommended from Fri.-Sun. to hike, as the mill is open all day on these days.
The Pyrmont and Eltz castles don't open again until May 1st, so …

The first dream path of the weekend is done. The path starts and ends at the Pyrmonter Mühle on predominantly fantastic paths. In addition to great views and forest and fields, the eponymous Pyrmont Castle is a special highlight of the tour. An absolute recommendation.

Our tour on the "Traumpfad Pyrmonter Felsensteig", also awarded "Hiking Trail of the Year 2015", was a wonderful nature experience. The entrance to this premium hiking trail started from a parking lot near the idyllic Pyrmont Mill. This historic half-timbered mill, nestled in a dreamlike setting of waterfalls and a pond, later offered a fairytale-like conclusion.

Pymont Rock Trail
The trail started at the Pymont Mill, from where you can also see Pymont Castle. It climbs past the three crosses erected in thanksgiving for surviving the Thirty Years' War. Narrow paths lead through faded broom and beautiful fields of poppies, cornflowers, chamomile, and faded rapeseed. It leads to the Allebaun shrine and the Stations of the …

A really beautiful dream loop, especially when the broom and rapeseed are in bloom. The end at the Pyrmont Mill was not only delicious but also extremely relaxing thanks to the sound of the waterfall.
