Eifel heimisch: Natur und Geschichte am Schloss Eicks

We hike through forests and charming villages. Our hike begins in the Eickser Busch, where you can explore narrow, tree-lined paths and quiet woodland trails. The Eickser Busch invites you to a relaxing getaway with its tranquility and fresh air. After a short hike, you will reach a woodland chapel from the year 1782. Here, you can admire the special atmosphere of the Neoclassical architectural style with its simple Madonna. The chapel is not only an architectural gem but also a place for reflection. The path takes you further into the picturesque village of Hostel. It is known for its historic village center with well-preserved half-timbered houses. Here, you can feel the charm of bygone days. Afterwards, you will hike along gently rolling fields and meadows. In the flat valleys along the Bruchbach valley, you can enjoy the peaceful silence and the fresh air of nature. The hike features numerous photographic opportunities and a pleasant tranquility in the Eickser Busch. Just before the end of the hike, you can look forward to another highlight: Schloss Eicks is an impressive water castle from the 16th century.
