EifelSchleife Kommern Half-Timbered Idyll (City of Mechernich)

From idyllic half-timbered houses to unique nature as well as elk and game – your hiking heart will beat faster.

The hike starts in Kommern at Arenbergplatz heading south, and you get to see Kommern from its most beautiful side – the town center is pure half-timbered idyll. It is worth ending the day of the hike here with a delicious meal in one of the restaurants. On the way, you can enjoy the Griesberg nature reserve and former mining areas near Kommern on narrow paths, completely switch off, and let the nature take effect. A small detour to the Hochwildpark Rheinland is definitely worthwhile. Here you can meet elk, game, and various domestic and farm animals up close and without fences and learn exciting facts about the species. The contrast between unique nature, beautiful views, charming half-timbered villages, and various church buildings and chapels makes this hike something special.
