Point to point
This 74 km (46 miles) long-distance trail follows the Lieser River from its source near Boxberg to its confluence with the Moselle and is typically hiked in four daily stages. The route leads through the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Volcanic Eifel, past deep blue maars, the Manderscheid Castles, and bizarre rock formations. Hikers experience how the small creek develops into a stately river within quiet forests and floodplains. The journey mostly runs downstream from north to south, ending in the wine-growing village of Lieser.
