May 18, 2025,Natur Wander Park delux Eifelgold Route (Ginsterheiden des Irsentals)

Today we went in search of the Eifelgold 😊.

The starting point is the hiking car park at the 54689 Irrhausen exit near the campsite.

The Irsental Valley impresses with magnificent panoramic views and former mills.
The beautiful valley is ennobled by the "Ginsterheide" nature reserve with its steppe grasslands, hawthorn bushes, and the eponymous broom bushes that bloom golden …

The official website marks this one as “schwer” (difficult), but in reality this is simply a pleasantly gentle hike through pretty countryside and woods. Don’t be expecting Instagram moments at every turn: just about the only “sight” is a poignantly austere war cemetery, where the lengthy lists of names (and graves without any names at all) will be sure to …

March 24, 2024,Eifelgold Route 😀🥾 - Ginsterheiden des Irsentals

Great route 🤩 Most of the time the river Irsen rushes and glitters to your right 🥰
Unfortunately it was at least a month too early for the gorse to bloom (I counted 7 open flowers😄) and the weather should be more stable now please 🙏

It's not just gorse that blooms here, but also many other plants such as foxgloves, elderberries, and dog roses. The tour starts at the Irrhausen campsite, near which several signs along the trail provide information about various wild plants in the …

If I had to describe this tour in a few words, I would describe it as "meditative monotony in an absolute idyll". The adventure …

Today we hiked the Eifel Gold Route from the Hiking Nature Park Deluxe. Despite the great weather and the blooming Eifel Gold, we hardly saw anyone. The tour was very beautiful. Even though we had to drive almost across the Eifel, we were thrilled by the Irsen Valley.
