Mit Freunden durch den Gerolsteiner Stadtwald

The community hike organized by the local groups of the Eifelverein Daun, Prüm, Bleialf, and Gerolstein, starting and ending at the “Gemeindehaus Büscheich,” mainly leads through the beautiful city forest. During this hike, we will climb the highest elevation in the Gerolsteiner Land, the “Dietzenley,” with the Celtic Fortress. From the viewpoint tower located there, one can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Eifel landscape.

Passing by the “Königsfichte,” we soon glimpse the bizarre rock walls as distinctive points in the nature reserve “Heiligenstein.” From the small shelter “Burgblick,” there is a lovely view into the Kyll Valley. Then we reach the lowest point of our hike, the castle ruin “Löwenburg” (Burg Gerhardstein) with a beautiful view of the town and the Gerolsteiner Dolomites located on the opposite side of the Kyll.

The trail continues upward, past the newly established forest ball track, to the “Büschkapelle” and then back to Büscheich.

After the hike, which lasts about 4 hours, we invite you to a cozy conclusion with coffee and cake at the Gemeindehaus Büscheich, where, of course, non-hikers are also warmly welcome.
