EifelSchleife Close to Heaven (Municipality of Dahlem)

A short hike with moderate climbs and unique views over the hilly landscape of the Eifel awaits you. 

The starting point of the hike is the castle village Kronenburg. Here in the narrow alleys and medieval houses, once inhabited by knights, castle men, clerics, farmers, and craftsmen, you will now find art galleries and craft shops. From Kronenburg, you should accept the few height meters up to the castle ruins. From this Eifel viewpoint, you have a fantastic view over the surrounding hilly landscape and the Kronenburg Lake. The castle ruins of Kronenburg, first documented in 1277, are remnants of the former hilltop castle above the Kyll valley.

Mostly on paved paths, you will encounter various fascinating views over Baasem, the Eifel hills, and wide meadows and fields. Especially in the early morning hours, you can enjoy the sunrise on the many small wooden benches.
