One of Arft's most tourist-relevant sights is undoubtedly Eltz Castle. This medieval castle towers majestically above the valley of the River Moselle and offers an insight into the history of this fascinating area.

There are also plenty of cultural highlights to discover in Arft - from the impressive Roman aqueduct to the Gothic church of St. Martinus from the 13th century.

For culinary specialities, be sure to try local specialities such as Riesling wines, hearty meat dishes or fresh bread - all typical of this region.

When it comes to outdoor activities, you have plenty of options here: Hiking through the Eifel National Park in spring or summer; cycling along the Moselle River in autumn; skiing or snowboarding in winter on a nearby mountain peak like the Hoher Acht.

But what do you do in Arft when it rains? Don't worry - the town also has plenty of indoor activities to offer. Visit the Eifel Volcano Museum or relax in the Bad Bertrich thermal baths.

    Schöner Traumpfad mit abwechslungsreichen Passagen. Relativ wenige Pfade, aber der Weg durch die Heide macht es wieder gut. Unter den Eifelern Traumpfaden eine schöne, kürze Runde.

    Abwechslungsreiche Rundtour auf teilweise schmalen Wegen an Wacholderbüschen entlang, durch Wald und in der offenen Heidelandschaft. Wegeführung leicht auf und ab. Besondere Kondition braucht man nicht. Zwischendurch schöne Weitsichten. Ausreichend Bänke zum Rasten. Ich bin die Tour im Winter und im Sommer gegangen. Im Winter warm anziehen, ab und an sehr windig. Ich habe als Startpunkt die Wacholderhütte in Langscheid gewählt. Am Ende der Wanderung eine gute Gelegenheit hier einzukehren.

    abwechslungsreiche Tour durch Wacholder/Ginster Landschaft mit anschließender Strecke durch herrlich ruhigen Mischwald. Die Ab-und Anstiege halten sich sehr gut im Verhältnis. Schöne Aussichtspunkte mit Bänken.

    Sehr schöne Route über die Höhen der Eifel und durch wunderbare Wälder. Abwechslungsreich über Forst- und Wirtschaftsweg sowie naturbelassene Pfade. Abseits des Traumpfads Bergheidenweg wandert man entspannt von einer tollen Aussicht zur nächsten.

    Der Weg ist Herrlich. Es war abwechslungsreich. Es ist sehr schön, da man Wald und Wiese hat. Oft hat man einen Herrlichen Ausblick. Die Heide ist ein Traum. Den werden wir auf alle Fälle wieder laufen. Es könnte vielleicht noch eine Bank im Wald stehen.

    Wir sind unter Anderem auch diesen „Traumpfad“ gelaufen,er gehört zu den schöneren! Die Beschilderung ist immer sehr gut! Die Bezeichnung „Traumpfad“ ist jedoch etwas hoch gegriffen (wie für alle Traumpfade). Die Bezeichnung „Wanderweg“ reicht unseres Erachtens völlig aus und weckt nicht unnötig hohe Erwartungen.

    Entspannte Runde, mit teils schöner Aussicht. Absolut für Familien geeignet, aber mit Kinderwagen oder Bollerwagen gar nicht zu empfehlen und teils nicht befahrbar. Beschilderung manchmal nicht gut platziert und man muss sehr aufmerksam sein.
