Hiking

Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages: Two castle ruins, the Löwenburg and the Philippsburg, stand high above the historic half-timbered town of Monreal. In between, you hike on this dream path through quiet valleys and over wonderful hills. You start directly in dreamy Monreal on the banks of the Elzbach. This shows you the direction for the first few kilometers and leads you into a fragrant forest.

Then the path winds up to the slopes of the Juckelsberg, where you can enjoy enchanting views over the Eifel. From the Thürelzblick you zigzag down into the valley of the same. You hike a bit along the stream in a relaxed manner and then conquer another hill with great views. Towards the end of your circular hike, the Monreal castles await you. Both complexes offer you wide views, the Löwenburg even from its keep. Finally, you go back down to Monreal.

View of Thürelz Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the rest area, which was created a little above the hiking trail, you have a great view of the valley of the Thürelz - a small stream that flows into the Elz.

Philippsburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Philippsburg was built before the Löwenburg and was not as big as the Löwenburg. It was built by Count Philipp zu Virneburg. The keep can be viewed from the inside, but cannot be climbed.

Beautiful dream path
We saved the highlight for last, which I personally think is better, exploring the castles towards the end

You don't need to say much about the paths on the dream paths, everything is great, there's something from everyone.👍☀️

Monrealer Ritterschlag is a beautiful tour. The view of the castles is wonderful.

There was a sign on the path saying: closed!

We walked anyway and wanted to see what the problem was. Maybe look for an alternative route. But there were no problems.

With initially low temperatures, we started a nice hike through the sunny autumn forest around Monreal with 17 people. Many thanks to the Eifelverein Daun for letting me go with them. It was a great pleasure for me in the nice group.

Out of the rain and into the Eifel. A journey that was more than worth it. An incredibly beautiful round with adventurous mountain paths, great ridge paths, the Löwenburg and the Philippsburg ruins.

Another great tour.
Quite strenuous, but Monreal is simply a dream and the entire dream path rightly bears its name.

The tour is very demanding and you should wear sturdy shoes and be sure-footed. The paths are mostly very narrow, over exposed tree roots and sometimes steeply downhill next to the path. It alternates between steep uphill and downhill sections. The tour leads through forest, meadow and field sections - beautiful nature is your constant companion.
We parked at the …

I actually wanted to go for a run along the Moselle on the way home from Trier today. But because it was probably very busy today with the weather and it was Sunday, I decided to go to the Eifel and the Eifel Dream Trail Monrealer Ritterschlag.
