View of the Dreilägerbach Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The first of the many dam walls that we encounter on the Eifelsteig. From the small rest area above you have a beautiful view of the dam and lake. Unfortunately, the dam wall cannot be entered.

Very nice round, varied, recommended! But you need about 2.5 hours. The specified Komoot time is wrong again.

Really nice and varied round. We walked it counter-clockwise from the Kuhberg hiking car park. Better the other way around in warm weather, because then you end up with a lot of shade. Good path quality, a part on boardwalks and a piece with gravel and forest floor. Very varied landscape.

This is a large reservoir that is also a drinking water reservoir. And further up again to the forest road that leads to a section with …

Nice walk, just a pity that it is so dry. Streams become streams and the streams run dry.

@MMT on Tour I had been planning the tour for a long time. But when I saw that you had done it, I had to do it too. Thanks for the indirect inspiration 👍
