Eifelsteig As the motto says: “Where rocks and water accompany you.” The Eifelsteig will take you on a journey across boulders, through caves, around maars and to volcanoes
I have never been as fascinated and touched emotionally by a hiking trail as I was by the Eifelsteig. During the 313-kilometre hike that winds through the low-elevation Eifel mountain range in western Germany, you experience the four elements of life – earth, fire, water and air – with unforgettable intensity. You have to tackle an elevation change of more than 15,000 metres. But it actually sounds much worse than it really is. The 15-stage Eifelsteig is suitable for every type of hiker. Boulders, caves, maars and volcanoes turn the trail that stretches from Kornelimünster to Trier into a real adventure.
