Small, remarkable sculpture that is reminiscent of the Moai figures on Easter Island. One wonders why she is standing in a field in the Northern Eifel ... 🤔

The weather, well... The Eifel loop was great! The start and finish was the lime kiln near Rohr-Lindweiler. There was a lot to read, beautiful sculptures, a great stream valley and an interesting view of the stars.

We will be back! This morning this Eifel loop was a really nice morning walk and made us want to plan a longer tour in this area. It is so varied and beautiful here, we were thrilled by the new star view near Rohr and the great works of art made of stone.

Today I'm back in the Eifel. I walked the Eifel loop to the lime kiln community of Blankenheim.

My hike started right at the lime kiln.

But if you don't mind that, you can …

Eifel Loop to the Lime Kiln (Blankenheim municipality)

Along idyllic forest landscapes and the valley of the Armutsbach we come to the fascinating lime kiln, which dates back to 1850.

The hike goes through the small village of Rohr.

One of the highlights is the listed church of St. Wendelin, which was built in 1870.
