EifelSchleife Eickser Busch (Town of Mechernich)

Experience the silence of the Eickser Busch with a moment of contemplation and enjoy the nature of the Rotbach and Bruchbach valleys. Pure relaxation and rejuvenation!

The just under 8 kilometer-long hike offers you plenty of variety. Through the Eickser Busch, you walk along narrow paths and forest tracks through dense forest and have time for a moment of contemplation at the forest chapel. The forest chapel from the year 1782 is a neoclassical building, open on four sides, and features a simple Madonna in its center. The forest chapel has long been a pilgrimage destination. The path continues through the small village of "Hostel." The historic village center with a small playground is characterized by its small and idyllic half-timbered houses. Through fields and fragrant meadows, you hike through the Rotbach and Bruchbach valleys along babbling streams where you can enjoy the fresh air of nature and occasionally cool down in short forest sections on hot days. Towards the end of the hike, you get a fantastic view of Eicks Castle.
