- 4.6 (13)·Moderate·7.8 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrA varied and promising hiking tour in Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia. This is a very nice round trip. A slightly different route than in the guide, as the original route was probably changed. Highlights of the route: - Great natural landscapes - Local flora and fauna - Great prospects
- 4.7 (15)·Hard·10.6 mi·Est. 4.5–5 hrThis route follows the traces of the Roman water supply. You will pass Roman aqueducts, ancient wells and reservoirs that used to provide Roman Cologne with the best Eifel water. In addition, a varied landscape awaits with charming brook valleys, rolling hills and dense forests.
- 4.3 (6)·Moderate·7.5 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrVaried loop trail near Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia.

- 4.9 (3)·Hard·10.3 mi·Est. 4.5–5 hrWonderful hiking stage from Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia. The beautiful tour begins at the Mechernich train station and first takes you through the idyllic village for a bit, before then going over forest, field and meadow paths. The stage ends in Scheven at the train station and there is also the possibility to travel back to the starting point by bus and train. Highlights of the route: - NSG Kalmuter Berg - Baltesbenden pond - Buchholz pond
- 4.0 (2)·Moderate·8.4 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrThe hike starts at the karst cave (Kakushöhle). From there it goes up to the ridges of the Ravensburg, where you are expected with wonderful views. Finally you walk through the Veytal and pass the Roman Brunnenstuben, a part of the Roman aqueduct built in the 1st century AD. The route is quite hilly and requires a certain level of fitness. Almost 400 meters in altitude have to be overcome.
- 4.4 (9)·Moderate·10 mi·Est. 4–4.5 hrThe route does what it says on the tin. Again and again a wonderful worldview opens up over the different natural landscapes of the Eifel. You also get a lot of information about mining - especially if you pay a visit to the mining museum in Mechernich. But also on the route itself, for example at the lookout point "Kallmuther Berg mine", you get a fascinating view of the abandoned lead ore mining area and the landscapes behind it.
