June 7, 2026, Forest and Lakeside Trail in Naturpark Rheinland

To all who roam the Villewald with its many lakes, I would like to give a poem by the writer O. W. Ullmann to accompany you on your way: „Wandern, das heißt Sehnsucht tragen nach der Sonne und nach Sonnenhöh'n nach den Bergen, die in Wolken ragen, nach den Murmelquellen und den stillen Seen, nach den Bäumen, die in blaue Lüfte greifen, nach den Feldern, die zur Ernte reifen, nach dem Grillenzirpen, nach dem Finkenschlagen: Wandern, das heißt Sehnsucht tragen.“

As is so often the case in the greenbelt, the small paths are often littered with many thin and sometimes thicker tree trunks or branches, making it unpleasant.

The short, rather overgrown section of the trail, at the beginning or end depending on which way you're driving, appears to have been cleared. It's very easy to get through.
