EifelSchleife Kronenburger Himmelsglück (Municipality of Dahlem)

Discover the Ohmbach nature reserve with its diverse forest landscapes and elevated wet meadows. 

The Kronenburger Himmelsglück leads you through the Ohmbach nature reserve on a short but challenging route. The Ohmbach once flowed into the Kyll and now drains into the Kronenburger See. On the east slope of the Ohmbach, which you hike up at the beginning of the tour, a spruce stand dominates. At the forest exit, you can enjoy the view and have a break at the rest area by the Stone of Silence. The stylized ear made of Buntsandstein is simply called the Ear by the people of Kronenburg. The wet meadows at the forest edge are home to marsh orchid, marsh marigold, ragged robin, and marsh thistle among others. Rare animals such as the common toad or the alpine newt can also be found here. The west slope of the Ohmbach valley, which you descend in the second part of the hike, is covered with beech forests and partly with oak forests. The tour is quite demanding but rewards the effort with beautiful nature and views of the landscape around Kronenburg.
