The Bach Trail across meadows and pastures

03:52

14.3km

190m

Hiking

This route lives up to its name. Four streams with very different characters are lively companions for the hiker. The history of the pretty resort town of Bleialf comes to life on old mining paths along the Alfbach. Lead ore was mined here until the middle of the 20th century.

From Halenfeld the path runs along grassy paths along the Donsbach. After a short hilly interlude with a magnificent view, the next stream is at your feet: the Deinbach. Traces of industrious construction activity betray the beaver. Numerous ponds are hunting grounds for blue and green shimmering dragonflies. Again it goes over the open ridge.

Grazing sheep enliven the lush green of the meadow and pasture landscape as white spots. The crowning glory of the varied tour is a relaxing spot by the romantic pond near Richelsberg.

Hiking trail along the Alfbach

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Alfbach is a narrow and quiet tributary of the Prüm. Here the stream flows peacefully through a small forest area and a hiking trail leads along the shore from Bleialf to Steinbach.

Well, that was my vacation rehearsal weekend in Gees. Tomorrow we're going home again. I had never left Bibi alone overnight. Before I'll be gone much longer for a vacation, I want her to know that I'll be back and I can travel more relaxed.
I saved this tour here over two years ago. Great, I thought to myself, it's …

Very nice premium hiking trail. In the forest, some paths were destroyed by heavy vehicles. Backpack supplies required. Good restaurant Haus Zwicker in Bleialf. Ate very well.

Today I ran in fantastic weather in an area where I have been in the winter before, covered in deep snow. Today I started out in a crisp -4 degrees Celsius, which rose to +10 degrees Celsius. It was so warm in the sun that I ran in a T-shirt and didn't know what to do with my clothes. A …

Despite the beautiful paths and nature, I missed some nice views...

The Bleialf stream path is a very varied hiking route in the Hocheifel. Very beautiful sections along small streams alternate with beautiful forest areas, meadow paths and great views over the Schneifel. Many benches and rest areas invite you to linger 🌝

Winter wonderland Eifel 😊
Partially a good 25cm high..... quite exhausting to trudge through there.
Definitely a nice round in summer too.
In Buchet 1 x wrong turn, normally the tour has 14 km.

Very beautiful, relaxing hike through nature across meadows, paths and trails as well as forests.

How beautiful do you want a walk to be? Start and finish in Bleialf. The route is not difficult...no steep slopes like you encounter at Prüm. Volcanic rocks and lava have already weathered into a landscape with steep slopes on one side and small mountains around them. In between, lovely streams flow down the valley. The vegetation is a bit …
