April 5, 2024,Wandern in der Eifel - Perlenbach und Narzissen
From our hotel in Roetgen we drove to the start/finish of today's hike in Höfen.
The Perlenbach and blooming daffodils accompanied us throughout the entire tour.
It was a very beautiful and recommendable route with only moderate inclines, occasionally very muddy due to the heavy rain recently, but easy to walk with hiking boots.
This evening we'll treat ourselves to …

A natural spectacle …

In celebration of Forest Day, we headed to the Eifel region near Monschau on the warmest day of the year. Unfortunately, the daffodils were only a few scattered here and there, but everything was green.
In three weeks, we'll repeat the route in the opposite direction. The meadows will surely be in full bloom.

Also walked this route on April 2 (komoot.nl/tour/725684160). Then there was a thick layer of snow and the Daffodils were not visible. Today the Daffodils were visible and they are in abundance.
