April 14, 2024,Natursteig Sieg - Etappe 13 Alsdorf - Kirchen (eine Runde von Katzenbach)

The Natursteig runs right next to the hotel in Katzenbach.

I then walked towards Alsdorf. From here, however, you cannot get back to Kirchen by public transport, so you take the access path (yellow) from the Natursteig towards Betzdorf (only 2km). The access path is a bit difficult to follow. If in doubt, you can take the main road to …

A free Wednesday and a good weather forecast made another stage of the Siegsteig trail a perfect choice.

I took the RE9 train from Siegburg through the colorful autumn Sieg Valley to Betzdorf, then the RB97 for a short ride to Alsdorf. From Alsdorf, I started my hike. A short access path leads from the train station to the main …
