The Eifelsteig

The Eifelsteig is one of Germany's top premium hiking trails, stretching 313 kilometres from the imperial city of Aachen to the ancient Roman city of Trier.

From the mysterious High Fens moorlands and the pristine beech forests of the Eifel National Park, through dramatic volcanic maars and limestone cliffs, to the gentle valleys of the Moselle region.

The trail is excellently waymarked with the distinctive Eifelsteig logo and well-maintained throughout.
