Circular
The circular route starts at the youth hostel in Bad Honnef. The destination is the Asberg, an old quarry for basalt rocks. It is now a wild area with several water lagoons, a natural habitat for birds and frogs. On the way, you climb the Himmerick and visit several forest huts, including the Mäcki hut. Most of the trail follows good, wide forest paths through monoculture and mixed forest areas with a variety of trees, furze, birch, beech and oak. There is a loop around the Asberg, but access to the overview of the lagoons is not indicated. You have to be careful as the lagoons are the result of deep excavations and are not accessible due to ravines and precipices. The way back to Bad Honnef leads via the "Eye of God".
