From rung to rung...from the Rhine to the Hocheifel

Eifelleiter

This 53 km tour is a delight for all walkers wanting to explore three different landscapes of the Eifel Mountains. From its starting point in the picturesque Rhine Valley, the Eifelleiter - which means Eifel Ladder in German - climbs up the fiery volcanic region of the Brohltal and over the Eifel’s highest summit, the Hohe Acht to then reach the beautiful town of Adenau as a grand finale.

Eifelleiter Section 2

The second section starts in the scenic expanses of the Brohltal, featuring beautiful views of medieval Olbrück Castle and two true spectacles of nature: the Rodder Maar and Lake Königssee. Want to go for a little detour? A round of swingolf, the golf sport for everyone, will feel like a pleasant slowdown in front of a gorgeous backdrop.

The final section first takes you to the dreamy forest adventure trail of Erlebniswald Steinrausch, close to Kempenich. The conquerors of the Eifelleiter then continue through small Eifel towns such as Lederbach and Hohenleimbach before heading up over the Eifel’s highest peak, the Hohe Acht, and taking aim at their tour destination: the town of Adenau.
