33 - Weidenbachtal

As soon as snow falls in the Eifel, the landscape is transformed into a winter paradise and you can go tobogganing, cross-country skiing or downhill skiing! The small ski resorts in the Eifel have many advantages for winter sports fans: short journey times, a family atmosphere, cozy huts and great opportunities for tobogganing and cross-country skiing. There are numerous trails around the Monschau region where cross-country skiers can let off steam, for example in Lammersdorf, Eicherscheid, Kalterherberg, Höfen and Rohren.

Length: 4.0 kilometers Duration: approx. 2.5 hours Difference in altitude: 140 meters

This loop, roughly around Bergstein and the Krawutschke observation tower, is short and crisp in terms of fitness with a strong main ascent between the Kalltal valley and the high-altitude villages of Brandenberg and Bergstein. You cycle clockwise, first relatively flat through the Kall and Tiefenbach valleys, then steeply up to Brandenberg and later very steeply down again to Zerkall. Here you will find the national park information point, which is also the start and end point of the route. Alternatives are the train station parking lot or the parking lots of the church in Zerkall or the parking lots of the Krawutschketurm in Bergstein.

One of the last Highland moors in Europe. One particulary special nature experience are the hiking trails over wooden walkways.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Braugerstenpfad in the Zülpicher Börde. Ahead of you lies an almost four-hour hike on mostly quiet paths between fields and meadows, with almost endless views as an encore.
