Traumpfädchen Langscheider Wacholderblick

A short spur path leads from the Wacholderhütte Langscheid parking lot up to the Wacholderhütte, where the circular route begins. Since it is recommended to walk the loop counterclockwise (better viewing directions), you first walk together with the Traumpfad Wacholderweg past the hut uphill. First junipers and lush heather spread out on the flank of the Wabelsberg, creating a Nordic flair.

At the forest edge, a path leads to the right straight into the realm of the junipers! Fragrant, they press closely to the path and lead to a first shelter. The path then winds down through an ancient forest of pines and junipers. A small clearing briefly opens, and a bench offers a beautiful view towards the Nettetal.

The path ends at an intersection (here the Traumpfad turns right), and you now follow a comfortable path to the left through the bright forest. Soon this recedes, and a pleasant meadow section offers beautiful views of the surroundings. Back in the forest, the route sharply turns left uphill. When crossing an asphalt path, it becomes briefly somewhat strenuous, but on the springy meadow path the small hill is quickly conquered. At the top, a forest lounger awaits as a reward with a magnificent panoramic view! The gaze wanders far and often rests on the distinctive cone-shaped mountains of the Vulkaneifel.

Finally, the hike continues, turning (briefly again with the Traumpfad) westwards, following the forest edge. When the Traumpfad turns right, the Traumpfädchen swings left and completes the circuit of the hilltop by crossing a small forest. Upon reaching the opposite forest edge, the tour continues right, now definitively again with the Traumpfad. The path then gently leads downhill between meadow and forest to a resting place. Here, you turn right onto an asphalt path, which you also follow at the next intersection. You are now back at the flank of the Wabelsberg, and at the next opportunity, you take a path to the left to get close to the juniper heath once more. Too quickly, you reach the Wacholderhütte again, which, depending on the weather, invites you to stop for refreshments or enjoy the idyllic summer terrace before returning to the parking lot.
