Hiking

Two hours that feel like a mini-vacation – the Traumpfädchen Paradiesweg Polch invites you to take a deep breath and marvel. The route is relaxed to walk and mostly leads over natural paths and through fields, meadows, and light forests. Ideal if you are looking for distant views, quiet streams, and varied landscapes. Highlights such as the Maifeld panorama, the Polcher Bachtal, and the striking cones of the Osteifel await you.

The path winds its way over gentle ascents to fields and plateaus, from where you can enjoy the view over Kaan and the wide Maifeld landscape. Small woods and groves alternate, and open spaces repeatedly invite you to pause and enjoy the distant view. Particularly impressive are the views from forest edges and small hills, where the typical volcanic cones of the Osteifel stand out. Along the way, the Polcher Bach, occasional rocks, and lush meadows accompany you – a close-to-nature experience where every corner offers new discoveries.

The circular tour starts and ends at an easily accessible parking lot. Bus stops are not far from the Traumpfädchen, so you can also arrive by public transport. Pack a drink and small snacks, as benches and viewpoints repeatedly offer opportunities for a break. With sturdy shoes and weather-resistant clothing, you are perfectly equipped for this wonderful hike.

A magical valley with a stream. The soothing sound of the brook accompanies you on your hike. In some places you can even cool your feet in the water.

A wonderful circular trail along dreamy country lanes in picturesque natural surroundings. It's aptly named "Dream Path Paradise Trail." Highly recommended 👍🏼 and great for walking with dogs.

"The Polch Paradise Trail is characterised by wonderful, airy expanses over long stretches. As we hike between rolling fields, there is hardly anything that disturbs our gaze as it wanders over the Maifeld. Striking conical mountains on the horizon place us in the Volcanic Eifel, before dreamy woods along the Polch stream provide relaxation." Quote from: Traumpfädchen, by Ulrike Poller. …

Today we're going on a little sunny day 🌼 walk through the fields and meadows of the Maifeld with the seniors of the Eifel Association. We'll finish off with a joint stop at Cafe Höfer in Polch. Very modern with a great sun terrace.

From my point of view, the dream path on the paradise path is a seasonal dream, I couldn't imagine that it would be such a great attraction for me in autumn or winter... The panoramic view over the Maifeld with its numerous wide, yellow-flowering rapeseed fields, the scent of which you could smell continuously , really impressed me today. I …

Beautiful, very different walking environment than in recent weeks. We passed through beautiful fields with flowers and views. Also saw a lot of butterflies!

I was in the area last weekend. This great route was recommended to me. I didn't regret it. The loop was absolutely beautiful. The detour to the summit cross along the way is worth it. However, that section is missing from the track here because I "took it with me" on another day.
