Over breakfast, I chose today's tour: the "Ulmener Acht" (Ulmener Eight Trail).

The paths were almost entirely farm tracks in varying conditions: everything from mud pits to asphalt. The paths themselves were rather uninteresting.

The rising ground fog was quite interesting to watch in the morning, desperately and hopelessly battling the sun.

A very beautiful hike around and in Ulmen. I particularly enjoyed the section from Auderath Mill to Meiserich.

May 18, 2023,Ulmener Acht mit Abkürzung durch den neuen Maar Stollen

Oh, that was another little dream hike. The tour is actually 20 km, but since we know about the opening of the tunnel that connects the Jungfernweiher with the Ulmener Maar, we took this shortcut with us straight away.

But from the front: brilliant weather, finally in shorts again, although it was still a fresh 9 ° in the morning. …

How wonderfully varied the Eifel is! Yesterday I was still talking about the different maars, today we visited two of them on the Ulmener Acht hiking trail. The Jungferweiher, which we almost circle right at the beginning, was created by a volcanic eruption, but its exact age cannot be determined. The maar silted up and was used for peat cutting. …

We had planned to run the home track Ulmener Acht, especially since the Ulmener Maar Tunnel was finished at the beginning of May. We started early and were able to pass the tunnel twice. At its narrowest point, it is just 70 cm wide. At 124 m, it connects the two maars, the Jungfernweiher and the Ulmener Maar.
The Jungfernweiher …

Mostly corresponds to the marked route.
Three junctions that were initially missed, because, for example, the signs were twisted (now correct again) and a self-selected path around the Ulmer Maar, above the actual route, have lengthened the route a little.

The path itself is sometimes quite narrow and it goes downhill rather steeply to the side.

The altitude meters are once again completely off the mark.
In truth they are at 330m uphill.

April 8, 2024,Eifel 🥾 🥾 - "Ulmener Maar"...🌋

Hello Eifel, we're back.
It's not a dance on the volcano, but it's always a fantastic hiking experience.

Numerous hiking tours start in the cozy Eifel town of Ulmen. The "Ulmener Acht" and the "Muße-Pfad" were combined.

I was able to enjoy this wonderful tour together with my hiking friend @uta_is_hiking.
