EifelSchleife Through the Schleid valley (City of Bad Münstereifel)

Beautiful circular route through the picturesque Schleidbach and Schießbach valleys. The fallow deer park is the finale and highlight.

The hiking trail “Through the Schleid valley” is rich in highlights. At the beginning and end of the circular tour, the Bad Münstereifel spa park welcomes you. The beautifully babbling Schleidbach runs through the park and takes us into the picturesque Schleidbach valley. The natural Schleidbach is part of the Bad Münstereifel forest nature reserve. Various species of woodpeckers, red kites, and kingfishers live here.

The primeval forest “At Dicken Baum” is a beech forest at Haarscheider Kopf, showing the original state of the Eifel forests. The forestry office has designated this area as a primeval forest plot. Human intervention is prohibited here, so the forest can develop entirely on its own.

The fallow deer park (Schleidpark) is open all year and free of charge. There is no fence between visitors and the animals, allowing for an up-close experience. Dogs are not allowed in the fallow deer park.
