Hiking

This long-distance hike combines several highlights in the center of the Eifel National Park: The adventure exhibition "Wildnis(t)räume", the former NS Ordensburg Vogelsang with its eventful history, the abandoned village of Wollseifen and the Rursee near Einruhr. The hike is framed by seemingly endless open country and increasingly wild forests.

A wonderful tour to see the broom in bloom on the Dreiborn plateau. From the Ordensburg Vogelsang castle via Wollseifen to Einruhr.

Hike in the Eifel National Park. From Kall, take the SB 82 bus to Vogelsang Internationaler Platz. Via the deserted village of Wollseifen. The village of Wollseifen was used as a military training area by the Belgians after World War II. The village houses were demolished. The village church and school buildings still stand and can be entered.

I gave myself plenty of time for the tour so that the inclines were easy to manage. The route offers great views. Time on the International Square (IP) Vogelsang with great exhibitions and a restaurant with a view is definitely recommended. Buses go back from there every hour - or you can walk back.
