The entire Eifelsteig

Would you like to get to know the stages of the Eifelsteig and discover the diversity of the Eifel step by step? 
The 313-kilometre-long Eifelsteig invites you to experience the low mountain range landscape up close. In 15 daily stages, the trail leads from Aachen-Kornelimünster to Trier under the motto "Where rock and water accompany you" and connects very different natural areas: from the moor and heathland landscapes of the High Fens to the rugged Rur Valley with reservoirs and the Eifel National Park to the limestone and volcanic Eifel, the river valleys of the Lieser and Kyll and the striking red sandstone cliffs north of Trier.
