Hiking

Beautiful flora and fauna with a view of the Gillesbach valley. The typical image of the arable terraces was created by plowing parallel to the slope and soil erosion on the valley side. Due to the number of species, such as the rare pasque flower, it is an ecologically very valuable area.

For the first moment I thought I was in the Allgäu. A unique terraced landscape has been created by plowing and erosion.

today primarily a beautiful valley view, but the terraces are also reminiscent of the difficult agricultural conditions in the Eifel
