The mountains are calling! And for many outdoor enthusiasts, there's nothing better than breathing the fresh mountain air and taking in the breathtaking views. In the Eifel, a picturesque mountain range, there are numerous opportunities to do just that.
A simple walk in the mountains
The Eifel offers a variety of hiking trails, one of which particularly stands out: the Eifel loop “Very close to heaven”. With a length of 5.8 km and an elevation gain of 133 meters, this trail is ideal for beginners and those looking for a relaxing hike.
Most of the trail is paved, making hiking easier. However, there are also some steeper sections that can present a challenge. But don't worry, the breathtaking views you can enjoy along the way are worth the effort.
The highlights of the hike
During the hike you will be rewarded with impressive panoramic views. The viewpoints offer a wide view of the valley and make every nature lover's heart beat faster. Another highlight is the town center of Kronenburg. Here you can visit a historic castle ruin and stop off in one of the cozy cafés or restaurants.
Although the path is mostly easy to manage, sturdy shoes are always a good idea. And for those who want to get the most out of their hike, we recommend walking the trail on a sunny day with clear visibility. So you can fully enjoy the breathtaking views.
