Experience a dreamy hike through the breathtaking nature of the Eifel! Along picturesque half-timbered houses, we leave the quaint Eifel village of Abenden. First, we hike along the idyllic meadows of the Rur. After a short but challenging ascent, we walk along impressive sandstone cliffs and enjoy magnificent panoramas over the Rurtal. We continue along narrow paths steeply up to the legendary Klemensstock – here you will be greeted by a 360-degree view over the Eifel all the way to Cologne and the Siebengebirge.

The hike takes us to mystical places from the time of the Druids. Finally, we visit the site of the legend of an ancient linden tree and learn what has become of it today. The fascinating contrasts of rugged rock landscapes, gentle meadows, cozy field paths, and almost alpine trails make the hike a special experience.

The hike requires good surefootedness and, due to the steep ascents, appropriate fitness. At some points, we will cross over tree trunks or have to duck under fallen trees. Sturdy footwear is absolutely necessary for this hike.
