In front of these benches seen from the parking lot, lies the small circular route "Wilder Ketmeter". From these benches one starts to look for beautiful hikes towards Heimbach, Rursee, Urftsee or Rurberg

January 8, 2026,❄️❄️zur Hirschley über den “Wilden Weg” im Kermeter❄️❄️

Today we enjoyed a lovely hike through the winter landscape in the Kermeter forest. 🥾 The fresh snow from last night was very grippy, and the ground wasn't as icy as it had been the day before yesterday.

It seems the best course of action is to play it safe for the next few days.

The "wild Kermeter" and the "Hirschleyroute" are barrier-free hiking trails in the immediate vicinity of Heimbach. Beautifully situated in the Eifel National Park. It is constantly being expanded and is particularly interesting and exciting for families with children.

Great sayings and loungers: There is a lot to marvel at on the Wilder Kermeter with the “Wilde Weg” nature exploration trail. Not just for children. And also a lake view.

Great round! But first I forgot to run komoot from the parking lot 🙈. We walked the "wild way" two days ago and took our time and used the great loungers for "forest bathing". Today we walked the "wild way" backwards on the way back - not a good idea because it was a lot busier and we had to …

A wonderful tour in the wild Kermeter over footbridges and beautiful beech forest. Ideal for forest bathing. Highly recommended with children. A very high experience value.
There are enough benches and loungers on the tour.👍

Link to YouTube:

After we spent 10 days walking, climbing or crawling on all fours in the southern Eifel and our vacation is over, we are starting today at home with a short hike in the Rureifel.

The Rureifel is in the northern part of the West Eifel in the Düren district, Euskirchen district and the Aachen city region.
