The neo-Gothic Catholic church of St. Luzia in Eschfeld was built in 1869. When Christoph März became pastor here in 1899, he decided to embellish and paint the new but plain church. In 1906, he created his first ceiling painting "David with the Harp". Fifteen years later, he completed the magnificent decoration of the church with the motif "Eschfelder Flood". After finishing the Eschfeld church, he decorated several chapels in neighboring communities. In 1931, aged only 64, the pastor died during the decoration of the parish house; he fell from the scaffolding and succumbed to internal injuries. His grave is located in the cemetery next to the church. His depiction of salvation history in pictures earned him the nickname "Painter Pastor of Eschfeld".

Magnificent long-distance views of the hills of the western Eifel, the idyllic Irsen valley with its lively meandering stream, open spaces, and dense forest sections – the range of natural attractions alone is wide. Added to that is a strong touch of medieval flair that arises from the old buildings of Dasburg. The enjoyable route mostly leads with gentle ascents and descents to ever-new viewpoints. However, athletically ambitious hikers also get their money's worth, as several steep sections and especially the length of the route require good stamina.

The over 13km long hike starts at Gasthof Waldesruh near Wehrbüsch and leads through the Irsen valley. "Valley of the Beavers" Hikers on the Irsen trail experience one of the most idyllic valleys of the Eifel. Those seeking peace and solitude will find it here in the Islek. Surrounded by mighty ridges over 500 m high, the Irsen winds through a picturesque floodplain landscape. The babbling of the Irsen accompanies the silence of the Irsen valley. Industrious beavers have left their traces; they have become native here again. The special feature of this route is the interplay of the peace radiated by the valley and the wide views granted by the heights.

One of the most beautiful hiking tours leads through the nature reserve "Eschefelder Heide". Here you can explore the breathtaking beauty of the local flora and fauna on a well-signposted hiking trail. The flowering season in spring is particularly impressive, when the heath turns into a veritable sea of colour. This tour is also ideal for hiking with children, as it is relatively short and easy to manage.

Another highlight are the hiking trails around the nearby Bitburg reservoir. Here you can walk for hours along the shore and enjoy the view of the glittering water. This route is particularly recommended in autumn, when the leaves turn colourful and create a magical atmosphere.

For more challenging hikes, the path to Rittersdorf Castle is a good choice. Steep paths lead to this impressive ruin high above the valley. From there you have a spectacular view of Eschfeld and the surrounding area.

In summary, Eschfeld is a paradise for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. The diversity of the landscape, the well-signposted hiking trails and the tourist attractions make this region a popular destination for hiking in the Eifel. Whether you take a leisurely walk through the nature reserve, stroll along the reservoir or venture up to Rittersdorf Castle - Eschfeld offers the right hiking route for every taste and every season. So lace up your hiking boots and explore the beauty of this unique area!

    Eine schöne Wanderung durch das Irsental mit tollen Aussichten, idyllischen Waldwegen und einer spannenden Bachüberquerung, gerade jetzt beim aktuellen Wasserstand im Winter. (siehe Video!)

    Herrliche Tour zum Abschalten und genießen. Wir sind im Uhrzeigersinn gewandert, haben viele Pausen gemacht. Wunderschön blühte Ende September hier und da noch der Ginster. Die Irsen hatte ordentlich Wasser und so konnten die Hunde sich zwischendurch erfrischen bei dem wunderbaren Spätsommerwetter. Die Überquerung der Irsen über die Trittsteine und die Leiter waren natürlich das Highlight. Hunde können rechts an der Leiter vorbei den Felsen hoch klettern. Insgesamt eine schöne Tour.

    Schöner Wanderweg, dicht an der Grenze zu Luxemburg. Unter der Woche sehr einsam, wir haben unterwegs kaum einen Menschen gesehen. Sehr gute Ausschilderung. Geeignet für Abenteuerlustige, man muss den einen oder anderen querliegenden Baum übersteigen und das Flüsschen wird mit Hilfe einer Leiter und von Stein zu Stein springend überwunden. Ebenso empfehlenswert für Naturfreunde; wir konnten auf unserer Wanderung ein Eichhörnchen, ein Wildschwein und eine nackte Frau beobachten.

    Da der Zweckverband als Autor von Bibertal schreibt, auf das keiner der Vorkommentatoren eingegangen ist, füge ich mal, wenn auch aus 2013 zwei Fotos bei, wo die Arbeit dieser Tiere deutlich erkennbar wird. War damals eine schöne Wanderung, wenn ich auch gewisse Insekten im Gedächtnis habe.

    Zeer mooie wandeling. Stilte, bos en beverdammen. Goede tip om de wandeling tegen de klok in te lopen.

    Ein wunderschöner Pfad. Haben in 5 Stunden nur einmal kurz andere Wanderer getroffen und waren ansonsten ganz allein in der Natur. Der Tipp, die Route anders herum zu laufen, war übrigens Gold wert 👍
