Description

Circular trail - 7.6 km - from the hiking parking lot at the national park gate in Höfen


This varied circular trail starts at the Höfen National Park gate. First, you follow the Wilderness Trail to the Perlenbach dam and hike past the Höfen mill through the tranquil Fuhrtsbach valley. On the way back, the landscape opens up - over the heights and through Höfen, where the famous beech hedges frame the village like green walls.
A trail full of contrasts - quiet, with great views and truly Rur-Eifel.
