The long climb (with the end even steeper) and also the long descent are a bit boring. The view at the top is worth it. For the best view you have to go just outside the village, there is also a bench.

The story of the Moselle gang is told here.
However, there are no information boards on the whole tour that could tell anything about it.
On wide paths it goes through the forest up to the village of Krinkhof. Across the fields with a fantastic view of the plateau and then disappear back into the forest.
It is a pleasant …

The path is ideal for hikers who feel comfortable on wide paths and are not so sure-footed. Only towards the end does he lead you along a path. There are no big highlights, apart from the elf grotto.

"In hardly any other period was there such organized banditry as in the 18th century. After the French invasion of the area on the left bank of the Rhine (Hunsrück, Moselle, Eifel), a lawless area was created, which greatly favored banditry. The lords of Electorate of Trier or Simmern no longer had any say. The churches and monasteries were dissolved, …

"For Ronja, the robber's daughter and little bandits, this hiking route on winding paths through treacherous, dense forests in the volcanic Eifel is a feast for the eyes. We follow the tracks of a wild pack of outlaws who make this thicket of gorges, caves, trees and plants theirs While back then they were anything but to be trifled …

Very easy hike, more like a longer Sunday walk through the forest. The hiking sign "Hat mit Feder" leads to the village of Krinkhof, the highest point of the hike, from there it goes down again. The course of the river and the waterfall are quite nice to look at. You should put the stop-off at the end. In Bad …
