EifelSchleife Through the Auelbach valley (Municipality of Blankenheim)

Dreamlike nature in the Auelbach valley – follow the babbling of the Auelbach and enjoy the wide views from Hühnerberg.

The hike through the Auelbach valley makes every hiking heart beat faster. The Auelbach valley is a nature reserve, especially for the preservation and development of bird species such as the black stork, red kite, kingfisher, and black woodpecker. In addition, the area serves as a habitat and retreat for many animal and plant species that are endangered, threatened, or rare according to the Red List in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Passing babbling brooks, you also reach unique viewpoints on the hike. From the Eifel viewpoint Hühnerberg, you have a fantastic panoramic view over the hilly landscape of the North Eifel. In good weather, it is possible to see as far as the Nürburgring. You can also relax on a wide wooden deck chair and take a short break.

At an altitude of 450 meters is the St. Jodokus Chapel Lommersdorf, built in 1750. The small baroque chapel is the destination of the Lommersdorf prayer processions each year.
