October 22, 2025,Vulkane- Höhlen- Weitblicke ⛰️ Tag 2: Hillesheim bis Steffeln

This was another beautiful day 😍
The stage from Hillesheim to Steffeln was very forest-heavy, but there were also many fantastic views of the Volcanic Eifel!

I really like hiking with luggage transport 👍
No need to drive, no need to search for a parking space, and you get to know several places.
