At the beginning we will descend through the Bolsdorf Valley to the Kyll. After a steep ascent in the forest, you will reach the Rother Kopf caves.

Spectacular rock formations and the impressive beechwood caves line the trail.

Gerolstein - Daun

Duration: 06:57 h

Distance: 23.9 km

Ascent: 640 m

Descent: 570 m

This stage can be divided into two different sections. Until Neroth (approx. 3 hours), the trail runs almost exclusively through light forest and is therefore ideal for warmer days. An exception is the Dietzenley, a volcanic spire with an observation tower. The view of the Kyll Valley and its surroundings is impressive. From Neroth you enter the valley of the Little Kyll and overcome the steep 200-meter altitude to cross the summit of the Nerother Kopf.

Duration: 06:39 h

Distance: 23.2 km

Ascent: 510 m

Descent: 570 m

The first part of this stage ascends steeply to the Maars, to the heart of the Vulkaneifel. The water glistens dark blue, the broom is golden yellow, the horizon is wide - like a beautiful play of colors. The second part of the route initially offers solitude and silence, as it leads through green meadows in the Lieser valley and later through oak forests, finally ending with fireworks: the rocky path above the river and the castles near Manderscheid. Good luck!
