Beautiful caves. Many forest areas. Ramstein Castle is ideal for a coffee and cake break. The hiking trail could be better maintained (many fallen trees block the path, inadequate stairs). The Luxembourgers can do better.

This tour was peppered with various highlights that we did not expect.
We worked up a sweat on the way to the first destination.
First of all, here's the information: sturdy shoes are a must and this tour is not a comfortable hiking tour! Surefootedness and fitness should be present.
In the waterfall location I took a bruised and fat …

Hello outdoor enthusiasts,
Today we're going on an Eifel hike to the Genoveva Cave. It's actually a hike through forest and rocks. However, as always with us, we deviated slightly from the original route and took a slightly different route because of a sign pointing to a waterfall. Once again, my gut feeling was right, and we found a path …

Hello everyone, this tour today was filled with some beautiful highlights, as you can see from the pictures. The Bundstein rocks were very beautiful, but the amazing gorge was also an absolute eye-catcher. You should do it sometime; we highly recommend it.

Today we follow route 58 from the Roth hiking guide "Eifel". On 11 km uphill downhill it leads first through the spectacular Butzerbachtal with many small waterfalls and suspension bridges - further to Geyersley with a great view - and then to the large Genova cave, which is really impressive with its size and the beautiful red sandstone rocks. Ramstein …
