Bad Bertrich is a very special area with streams, steep hillsides, oak paths, waterfalls, and last but not least, great views. BB with a history also invites you to stroll through the small town and perhaps linger there. Historic buildings give the town partly a flair of the past. ;)

An exceptionally beautiful route mostly over unmarked paths from Kennfus through the Erdenbach Valley to Bad Bertrich. Detour to the Klidinger Waterfall, the highest in the Eifel, included.
However, I advise against doing this route alone, unlike myself. In the Erdenbach Valley and at the Klidinger Brook, mobile networks are not even sufficient for emergency calls; there is no network!

This hike is a real insider tip, worth even a longer journey. The path leads over 3 rocks near Bad Bertrich and offers many charming views: Falkenlay, Schießlay, and Hohelay. Lay (also Ley, Lei, or Lai) is a term frequently found in the Rhineland and Low German language area for rock or cliff.
"Schießlay" (also Klidinger or Beurener Waterfall) is the attraction: with a main fall of 20 m, it is the highest waterfall in the Eifel. It is hidden in a triangle between the villages of Kennfus, Kliding, and Beuren. We reach it from Kennfus. There is no signpost in the village, no hiking parking lot at the waterfall, and you hardly meet anyone.

Entering the spa garden from Kurfürstenstraße and looking at the Kurfürstliches Schlösschen, one feels transported to another time: perhaps the late 18th or early 19th century, when the European nobility gathered here to recover from the strains of ruling and regain strength, as a wellness oasis for everyone.
The place is sheltered in the Üßbachtal valley, surrounded by lovingly designed, well-marked hiking trails for every level of difficulty. We chose a path leading to the heights between Bad Bertrich and Kennfus, over narrow rocky paths, to beautiful views over the Vulkaneifel and through a wild, pristine stream valley; those who like can take a short detour to a waterfall: with a 20 m main fall, the waterfall of the Klidinger Bach is the highest in the Eifel.
We start at the Tourist Information in Bad Bertrich, follow the marking of the Maare and Thermen Trail to Falkenlay, from there take an unmarked path past Kennfus down into the Erdenbachtal and follow the Eichenblatt there. Those who like can take the detour to the waterfall at Klidinger Bach. Afterwards, we continue following the Eichenblatt over Hohelay (Bismarckturm) and Hohenzollernturm back to Bad Bertrich.

Lay (also Ley, Lei or Lai) is a term frequently found in the Rhineland and Low German-speaking regions for rock or cliff. "Bad Bertricher DreierLay" therefore means this hiking trail goes over 3 rocks near Bad Bertrich: Falkenlay, Schießlay, and Hohelay.
Schießlay (also Klidinger or Beurener Waterfall) is the attraction: with a 20 m main drop, it is the highest waterfall in the Eifel. It lies hidden in a triangle between the villages of Kennfus, Kliding, and Beuren. We reach it during a hike from Kennfus. There is no signpost in the village, no hiking parking lot by the waterfall, and you hardly meet anyone.
Schießlay is a true insider tip!
Our hike mostly follows marked local hiking trails.

In a side valley, we climb up to Schießlay. Afterwards we again follow the Oak leaf via Hohelay (Bismarck tower) and Hohenzollern tower back to Bad Bertrich.
