Hiking on the Muße Trail

Eifel hiking on the Maare and Thermen Trail with ruffians and scoundrels, wild fellows, cunning millers and battle-hungry knights? The view from the Ulmen castle ruins to the youngest maar in the Eifel, the Ulmener Maar, takes you back to the geologically explosive past, when the volcanic Eifel region exploded, bubbled and the crater lake was formed around 10,000 years ago. Those times are long gone.
The Üssbach meanders wildly through the valley - it accompanies you on your hiking tour. Sometimes it flashes through the leaves, sometimes you cross it.
Life was certainly not always easy for the people in this part of the Eifel. After all, wild fellows like the "Moselbande", the "horde that wielded the assassin's dagger and the firebrand" according to police records, were up to mischief here until 1800 and hid in the woods.
Breathe in the scent of the forest , enjoy the many flowers and wild herbs in the meadows and let the wind blow around your nose on the heights. Linger on the Achterhöhe - the Üssbach flashes through the mixed forest seven times. The fates of the former inhabitants become tangible again and again - at the remains of the Demerath mill, for example. Let yourself be guided on your way by the stories of the people, surrounded by enchanting nature.
