Eifel: Wilderness Trail on wide paths How long has it been since I made my last trip. Actually I can hardly remember. But this weekend should be at least once a stage of the so-called
Wilderness Trail s in the Eifel National Park to be addressed.
We decided on the third leg of Gemünd (Schleiden) to Heimbach. Reason: milestone and launch stage are better than the other stages connected to the bus. At 9.06 clock we had the car at your destination, the home station Bacher off. The station is now known as the "National Park-gate." There is a clock on weekdays at 9.06 bus to Gemünd, arriving about 35 minutes later. reach
After a stroll through the local pedestrian walkers in the park, the local National Park Gate. " From then followed starting with a bridge crossing over the Urft only the cat drawing direction Heimbach.
start out the hike on a wide path along the Urft. After the first bend of the Urft is wider, the travel path of gravel, unfortunately, not narrower. At the next bend in the river with great views of the narrow path leads at last to a valley up to Wolf garden. The village, with its kitschy-kept front yards and sidewalks is crossed quickly. At the end of which hikers can find a tourist restaurant, which closed on Thursdays.
Then it's on again on wide forest trails through magnificent beech and oak forest, interrupted only rarely by spruce Schonungen and clearcuts. The monastery Mariawald disappointed. Who does not pea soup like with sausage, you should always food with you on the road. can not be visited the monastery. Good six kilometers of the route then further down to a still wide paths through wilderness to little to Heimbach. Beautiful is the end of the castle from the 11th Hengebach Century, the 1A restored on a cliff above the town sits.
Conclusion: A beautiful hike with lengths, little wild but beautiful forest. The highlight is the Urft before the ascent to Wolf garden.
