The Forest Well-being Path invites you to escape everyday life and let your soul relax. Feel the special connection to nature on the three "forest islands".
Before you set off…
It occasionally happens that sections of paths have to be temporarily diverted or closed. Simply check at https://www.gesundland-vulkaneifel.de/info/wege-info/.
Enjoy the variety of nature on the Forest Well-being Path! The path leads you through the unique landscape of the Vulkaneifel around Lutzerath. A circular route where hikers can feel completely comfortable and at the same time immerse themselves in the forest. Three “forest islands”, equipped with cozy forest sofas, benches and hammocks, remind you to enjoy being outdoors and to become one with nature. The path starts at the Drei-Eichen hut and leads you to the forest island “BuchenGlück”. From there you have a free view of the green beech forest. Relax in the hammock and watch the passing clouds through the light tree crowns. Then, depending on the weather, perceive the different scents of the forest on the forest island “Waldduft”. Pause for a moment and enjoy the aromas of nature. At the end of the hike, the forest island “Traumtal” invites you to linger in the peacefully rustling valley of the Üßbach.
Highlights along the way:
-
0.5 km Forest island BuchenGlück
-
2.2 km Forest island Waldduft
-
3.6 km Forest island Traumtal
Info: We recommend a hike between April and the end of October, as due to weather conditions and forestry work the hammocks are taken down from November to the end of March.
