A nice rest area even for large groups. Tables and benches are available here, and reserve tables are also available. Located directly on the Holzmaar and truly magical.

October 28, 2022,Wandern in der Vulkaneifel: HeimatSpur Lavaweg

Today it doesn't take long until I find myself in the magical world of a perfect autumn morning: I lose myself in the endlessly wide hilly landscape in which the small village of Strohn is embedded. The grass, bushes and trees along the way hold the raindrops of the last few days with their tips and branches. Cobwebs stretch between …

With good weather, we decided to do the longest tour of the holiday today - over 20 km. The tour was very varied. There were phases with fields and meadows and beautiful forest passages through high beech forests. A dream when the sun shines in. But there were also some boring passages that went 1km straight ahead on a hiking …

The Strohn Lava Trail is beautiful and varied. There are also dangerous passages in Strohn Switzerland. Unfortunately, there was constant fog on the route.

7:30 am, the very first to arrive at the Holzmaar. At home, the fog was still thick, but here it was the finest ☀️. We walked along the Sammetbach towards Mückeln. For miles, we could hear birds chirping and the babbling of the stream, but absolutely nothing else 😊
Over the Klosterweiher, Sprink and Strohner Schweiz to the Vulkanhaus ☕️🍰🍺. …
