This route lives up to its name. Four streams with very different characters are lively companions for the hiker. The history of the pretty resort town of Bleialf comes to life on old mining paths along the Alfbach. Lead ore was mined here until the middle of the 20th century.

Hiking trail along the Alfbach

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice premium hiking trail. In the forest, some paths were destroyed by heavy vehicles. Backpack supplies required. Good restaurant Haus Zwicker in Bleialf. Ate very well.

Today I ran in fantastic weather in an area where I have been in the winter before, covered in deep snow. Today I started out in a crisp -4 degrees Celsius, which rose to +10 degrees Celsius. It was so warm in the sun that I ran in a T-shirt and didn't know what to do with my clothes. A …

The Bleialf stream path is a very varied hiking route in the Hocheifel. Very beautiful sections along small streams alternate with beautiful forest areas, meadow paths and great views over the Schneifel. Many benches and rest areas invite you to linger 🌝

Winter wonderland Eifel 😊
Partially a good 25cm high..... quite exhausting to trudge through there.
Definitely a nice round in summer too.
In Buchet 1 x wrong turn, normally the tour has 14 km.

How beautiful do you want a walk to be? Start and finish in Bleialf. The route is not difficult...no steep slopes like you encounter at Prüm. Volcanic rocks and lava have already weathered into a landscape with steep slopes on one side and small mountains around them. In between, lovely streams flow down the valley. The vegetation is a bit …

Today's tour is a hiking trail from the German-Luxembourgish hiking nature park delux at Bleialf in the Schneifel. Totally lonely we hiked along Alfbach, Dönsbach, Irlenbach and Dürenbach. So lonely that fox and rabbit said good night to each other. Very nicely made route with benches, huts and rest areas. Good view of the black man, the third highest mountain …
