Description

Following in the footsteps of hunters, you travel from Marmagen through deep coniferous forests along the Hermann-Löns-Weg, named after the passionate hunter and writer Hermann Löns.


Forest bathing at its finest: On this hiking trail, you experience the silence and nature of the Eifel forests. Fragrant coniferous forests with mossy undergrowth, hidden hunting stands, and darting deer immerse you in the world of hunters. The cool and humid forest air offers a pleasant refreshment, especially in summer. Here you are on the Hermann-Löns-Weg, named after journalist, writer, hunter, and conservationist Hermann Löns (1866-1914).

Before leaving the forest, the bench at the pond along the path invites you to rest. Close your eyes and listen to the chirping of the crickets and the soft splashing of the ducks.

Back in the small village of Marmagen, look out for the House Hubertus. The villa was built in 1917 by entrepreneur Carl Milz and has a eventful history: constructed during the First World War, seized by the Nazis in the Second World War, and later a frequent destination of the first Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
