The Heidsmühle is idyllically located in the forest, without noisy through traffic at the end of the access road. It was badly damaged in the flood of the century in 2021. The damage has now been largely repaired and nothing stands in the way of a stop or even an overnight stay in this idyll. Both the Eifelsteig and the Lieserpfad lead along the Heidsmühle and invite you to take a break and have a good time. Further information on the homepage at: https://www.heidsmuehle.de/

I can't take as many breaks as there are beautiful huts and viewing benches here - there's not enough room in my backpack for that amount of bread, snacks and water.

The nice thing about the hiking trails around here is the fact that you can often catch a glimpse of the castles.

More of an architectural highlight and great photo opportunity than a refuge. The walls are open and the wooden supporting arches are delicately worked. You can photograph great silhouettes here when a hiker stands in front of the panorama.
