A little north of the two villages of Walsdorf and Zilsdorf is a highlight that every visitor to the Eifel with at least a little geological interest should have on their wish list: The Arensberg volcano. Since this is created separately (and unfortunately, multiple times in the komoot system), here is only the access, a tunnel of non-natural origin. A covered passage has been created to protect visitors from possible falling rocks.

All hikers on this forest path are welcome to take the following lines by the writer O. W. Ullmann with them: „Wandern, das heißt vorwärtsstreben, frohen Muts nach Zielen gehen, aus dem Alltag sich erheben und in lichte Fernen sehen, Widrigkeiten überwinden, stark und frei zur Höhe finden und Vollbringerstolz erleben: Wandern, das heißt vorwärtsstreben.“

For the Vulkania healing spring, see e.g. https://www.eifel.info/a-vulkania-heilquelle. Next to the spring is a pretty, well-maintained chapel where you can take a rest.
