Eifel loop Historic Weilerswist (municipality of Weilerswist)

This Eifel loop winds around the old town center of Weilerswist, through fields and meadows along the Swistbach and the Erft with interesting historical sights.

City, country, river. Nothing seems to stand in the way of the nature and cultural experience on this Eifel loop. This pleasant Eifel loop runs with a manageable total length of 11.4 km and an estimated walking time of about 2:50 h initially along the outskirts of Weilerswist. After a few kilometers, the Swistbach becomes a faithful companion. The Swister Tower catches the eye already on arrival, as it sits – almost majestically – on a small hill above the village of Weilerswist. The manageable climb to the Swister Tower is rewarded with a great view of the Eifel landscape. It does not take long before the Eifel loop winds from the town center back towards the floodplain landscape. Here the Erft greets its hiking friends. The idyllic route now runs parallel to the famous Jakob pilgrim path. Welcome to Klein- and Groß Vernich, it says after some kilometers. There you can admire historical sights before returning through the town center of Weilerswist back to the starting point.
