Strohner Switzerland

Highlight • Gorge

Those who hike here stroll through steep lava walls that tower up to the treetops to the right and left of the Alfbach. This magical place is part of the longest lava flow in the Eifel.

View of the Holzmaar

Highlight • Lake

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.

Volcano Café Strohn

From a simulated volcano in the beer garden, water runs through a channel. Here children, but also brave adult guests, can swim boats.

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.

For the most part a very nice tour. Definitely sturdy shoes and surefootedness required.
Short but steep paths and between km 16 - 18 the paths are currently still very soft.

If you can't handle thorns and nettles, I recommend long trousers.

Two places worth seeing weren't directly on the route, so I went there afterwards.

Enjoy autumn in all its colors - pure natural bathing! For today's mild autumn day we have chosen the HeimatSpur Lavaweg Strohn. The route was very varied, it went along meadows, fields, forests and stream valleys with beautiful views over the Vulkaneifel. We started at the church in Strohn. From there we first went to the dry maar of the …

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 ☕️🍰🍺. …
