A narrow path from the waterfall towards Nohner Mühle. You should be sure-footed if you walk here long. It goes over rocks and roots along Ahbach.

October 9, 2022,Burg Kerpen und der Dreimühlenwasserfall (Rother Eifel #41)

Varied and scenic hike from the village of Kerpen/Eifel with its castle to the well-known Dreimühlen waterfall.
A worthwhile detour is the Nohner Mühle (with a café). 🍰☕️
I took the tour from the Rother Eifel hiking guide. 🙂👍🏻

Beautiful hike from the Nohn hiking car park, past the Nohn mill with a view of the rock face. On the way to Kerpen Castle you will pass the Niederehe quarry. Since the castle is privately owned, it cannot be visited. Nevertheless, it is a hiking highlight. On the way back to Nohn we finally come to the Dreimühlen waterfall, …

Today we went on a tour near Nohn. We started from the Dreimühlen car park towards the waterfall. This is the largest growing waterfall in the Eifel. We then climbed up to the Dreimühlen ruins for a short time. There isn't much to stand on there, though. We continued hiking on great paths past a quarry. There we were briefly …

It was a very nice hike, but in some places you can get scared like many trees that are so big and mighty, just falling over like that makes me sad and scared. And it was very muddy in places the ground was soaked with water. The water, which is supposed to go deep into the ground, stays on the …

The best starting point is the waterfall car park or the car park directly at the Nohner Mill.
The mill is also a perfect place to comfortably end the hike! 👍🏻👍🏻
