EifelSchleife Decke Tönnes (City of Bad Münstereifel)

Decke Tönnes - A hike through dense forest, past small ponds, moss-covered trees, and a very special forest chapel.

During the hike, you can enjoy the peace and seclusion in the Bad Münstereifel Forest nature reserve. Over the 7.3 kilometers, you become one with nature. Passing small ponds and the babbling "Stiefelsiefen" stream, you can observe a wide variety of animals, especially in the early morning hours. From vineyard snails to deer and various bird species. Moss-covered tree trunks and uprooted trees show you the untouched nature. At the end of the hike, you reach the forest chapel "Decke Tönnes." The hermit St. Antonius from Egypt, honored in the chapel, is regarded as a protector of forests, wildlife, and livestock. Today, St. Antonius also seems to be a patron for drivers who entrust him with their small and big worries. Information boards provide fascinating details about the chapel and St. Antonius.
