HeimatSpur Wald-Wohlfühl-Weg – GesundLand Vulkaneifel

Once again we are drawn to Lutzerath in the forest. If the weather is just as nice as on Sunday, we will enjoy our forest bath on the forest well-being path. Of course we swing in the hammock and we are amazed at the interesting mushrooms we find. We thought it was stupid that someone took the two large mushrooms out of the ground and put them on the tree trunk! Why are you doing this? If you can't/don't want to eat the mushrooms, just leave them in the ground. But so that they weren't torn out completely unnecessarily, we at least took a picture of them. Later we find a whole mushroom town and Sue has a lot to sniff along the way. A good kilometer before the end of our feel-good lap, it was over for the time being. The blister I got three tours ago hurt so bad that I had to sit on a tree trunk and get medical treatment. Ice spray against the pain and a bandage so that the foot can no longer move in the shoe. Well - better than nothing! At home I can see the extent, the bladder has of course tripled in size - it's a good thing that tomorrow is physio day anyway and we won't be hiking.

The tour can be combined with the Achterhöhe. we made two trips out of it because of the rest

This beautiful, short forest bathing circuit can be easily combined with the Heimatspur Achterhöhe trail!

https://www.ich-geh-wandern.de/wald-wohlfuehl-weg-lutzerath "This excursion focuses entirely on the most comfortable aspects of a hike and expands them with methods of mindfulness. The route is equipped with appropriate devices and instructions for this purpose. It is generally recommended to pay close attention to the environment, to activate and use all your senses - then it can be possible to escape from the stressful everyday life. Because it is less than five kilometers long, even at the most relaxed speed there should be time left. As a result, there are others in the region, with different lengths and themes, for example in the "Heimatspuren" collection, from which the expanded route comes. This one is signposted as a forest feel-good path. And so we start directly in the thicket of trees, at the three-oak grill hut. The nearest towns are a long way away, which is why the easiest way to get there is by car. Nevertheless, this is also possible by train and bus, for example to Lutzerath, from where the starting point can be reached on foot. A board immediately gives an overview of other destinations and hiking trails in the area; now, on the other hand, it should first go south. The first (so-called) forest island welcomes us with an inviting hammock that offers a view of the treetops and the sky above. If you can free yourself from this comfort and the ambience, the walk continues - still leisurely on relatively flat terrain. The next stop focuses on the sense of smell. It is important to activate the nose and try to identify and savor the different scents of the forest. Depending on the season and the weather, other flavors stand out. The final stop is a curved wooden bench with a natural window onto a meadow. Hikers who prick up their ears might even be able to hear the nearby Üßbach. A western detour there is an option. Otherwise, we'll leisurely move back to the starting point and let spontaneity plan the rest of the day." Directions by car: Drei Eichen Grillhütte 50°06'27.1"N 7°00'12.8"E

A small but lovely route that is worth it if you want to switch off for a while. It runs mostly on wide paths.
