Idyllic circular hike in the Eifel National Park.
This quiet route runs from Maria Wald Abbey through a wild and romantic area to a little-visited corner of the national park. In the midst of beeches and small streams, you can enjoy the power of nature. Along the way there is forest, some of which has not been touched by humans for 50 years. Wilderness isn't just a slogan here. There is a refreshment stop in the abbey. Otherwise there is a lonely shelter on the way.
