EifelSchleife Altusknipp-Weg (City of Mechernich)

A short but strenuous hike rewarded with a breathtaking view of the nature of the Eifel.

The first part of the route leads through the village of Kommern. Then follows a strenuous ascent to the 375-meter-high Griesberg. The ascent runs along small meadows and forests, which are surrounded by woodland. The Griesberg nature reserve and former mining areas in Kommern are characterized by mixed forest and partly dry heath. After the strenuous climb, a phenomenal view of the unique nature of the Eifel awaits you. The hike requires a little surefootedness, as the descent from Griesberg is steep and over difficult terrain. Once you have successfully mastered the descent, you can end the day in the Mühlental recreational park with a round of mini golf. Keep your eyes open past the Mühlensee. With a little luck, you have the chance to see turtles up close.
