EifelSchleife Hoch auf den Steinert (municipality Dahlem)

Take a deep breath – high up on the Steinert you can find complete peace. 

Untouched nature, fantastic distant views, and winding paths – you will find all this on this 10-kilometer-long hike. Through the Honertseifen and Heinborn nature reserve, you ascend one of the two Steinert peaks, which are virtually the home mountains of Kronenburg. Along the way, you will repeatedly enjoy beautiful views of the Kronenburgerhütte, Kronenburg, the Kronenburger See, and Dahlem. Rare butterfly species such as the purple emperor, the checkered skipper, or the small white flutter along the paths. In the open areas near the forest edges, you can admire kestrels hovering. They hover at heights of 10 to 20 meters, searching for prey. Entertained in this way, you will hardly notice that you are ascending one of the highest mountains of the High Fens. At the Steinert, a sign points to the local border between Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia.
