May 1, 2023,Münstereifel Eifelspuren: Kneippwanderweg 01.05.2023
The starting point for me was the old train station/bus station. The round led me through the cemetery, where you can see not only the war graves but also the nuns' burial ground of the old monastery. You soon pass an old linden tree that the nuns looked for on their evening walk. It goes steadily but moderately up through …

Although we still had a lot of sore muscles from yesterday's climbing tour, we went back to the Eifel with dear friends today.

Nice route, lots of benches to rest, including shelters; if you want lots of vantage points, this path is nothing. You go through a lot of forest with clearings .. I liked it, only met a small group on the whole route, deserted (whether it has anything to do with the flood disaster?)

Today we went on a hike through Bad Münstereifel in brilliant blue. We turned the tour around and looked for a Kneipp pool without success... quite a misnomer 😜. There is a shop in Bad Münstereifel, but that is no substitute for cool water on your legs and arms. The tour is officially closed due to marking work. It was …

From Bad Münstereifel, the route naturally leads us first through the historic old town, towards the train station.

The new Erft open staircase and the Kneipp facility on the city wall (Werther Tor) invite you to cool off!

Behind the train station, we follow the path to the right and then up, over shady forest paths and narrow, partly rustic …

This Eifel trail is pure nature. It mainly leads through the forest. So that you can run them even on hotter days. The only thing we couldn't get through with our dogs was the fallow deer enclosure. This is forbidden for dogs. So we walked the piece along the street. But it didn't go that far. All in all, it …

The tour, which is almost 16 kilometers long, leads - mostly on comfortable forest and field paths - around the Kneipp health resort of Bad Münstereifel. At the end of the circular tour you pass the fallow deer enclosure and the spa park. Afterwards, you can take a detour to the historic town center, which was restored after the flood …

I haven't been to Bad Münstereifel for years... Especially not since the devastating flood disaster in 2021. 🌊
So after my hike on the Eifel trail "Kneippwanderweg" I wanted to take the opportunity to take another look at the picturesque town. A lot has obviously happened here since the destruction in 2021. 👍
The picturesque old town has been generously …
