EifelLoop Berg and Valley (City of Mechernich)

Up and down through the High Fens Nature Park, this Eifel loop leads you. The Bürvenicher Berg Flora-Fauna Habitat area is one of the highlights.

The Eifel loop Berg and Valley leads through the High Fens Nature Park. The picturesque villages of Floisdorf and Berg are only briefly crossed. Otherwise, this route offers pure nature. The limestone quarry at the foot of the Tötschberg is evidence of the sea's legacy, which about 360 million years ago created coral reefs here and deposited the limestone on the sea floor of that time. The calcareous soil with the limestone grassland above it offers the ideal substrate for a colorful abundance of flowers, herbs, and grasses.

This is particularly impressive on the Geological Hiking Trail through the Bürvenicher Berg Flora-Fauna Habitat area. It smells of fresh herbs and a variety of butterflies and bees flutter and fly through the air. This sensory experience is enhanced by an impressive panoramic view of Berg Castle and the fields and meadows of the Zülpicher Börde.
