We took the remaining snow as an opportunity to go on our favorite snow hike in the Eifel.. today's highlight: petting a pony 😉 which needed a little hopping round and of course the wonderful stop at the end in the Bielenhof Alm.

The rounds start at the community center, where you will also find parking spaces.
First it goes a bit through Birgel, past a small wooden house dummy …
