Discover the region

Let's start with the most important attractions: An absolute must is a visit to Montclair Castle. This medieval fortress sits majestically on a hill above the village. From here you have a breathtaking view over the surrounding landscape.

But nature also has a lot to offer: Hike along the idyllic river valleys or explore the fascinating world underground in the nearby mines.

For culture lovers, there are numerous museums and galleries, such as the Museum of Prehistory and Early History or the Kunsthaus Trier-Saarburg. Kirf also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the regional specialities such as Saumagen or Schwenkbraten.

If it should rain, you can retreat into the dry and enjoy one of the many indoor activities - for example, visit one of the fun and leisure pools in the area or go shopping in one of our charming towns.

The best seasons for outdoor activities are certainly spring to autumn - but also in winter Kirf offers its guests many possibilities, such as ice skating on the frozen lakes or cross-country skiing through the snow-covered landscape.

And where is it most beautiful in Kirf? That depends entirely on your personal preferences - whether you prefer a hike through the idyllic river valley or a leisurely stroll along the historic old town. No matter what you decide, one thing is certain: a visit to Kirf is always worthwhile!

    Der Zuweg von Perl müsste dringend freigeschnitten werden, da man aktuell nur gebückt durch die Sträucher kommt. Ansonsten wäre es im weiteren Verlauf auch schön, wenn der Weg gemäht wäre, da man oft durch hohes Gras läuft.

    Ein sehr schöner Weg, leider sind die Geländer an Treppen oft kaputt oder erst gar nicht mehr vorhanden.

    Tolle Tour. Aber nur mit eMTB. Teils supersteile Anstiege und enge Stellen. Teilweise auf Wanderwegen. An zwei Stellen musste ich zugewachsene Wege umfahren. War aber kein Problem. Ich war begeistert...

    Im großen und ganzen gut . Wir haben die Etappe von Perl nach Palzem gemacht, morgens das Auto in Palzem abstellen und mit der Bahn nach Perl zum Start gefahren. Von dort über den Zuweg (1,7km )auf den Hauptweg.Alles in allem war die Strecke auch gut ausgeschildert ( an 2 Wege kreuzen leider nicht).(. Die Wegweiser müssten dringend wieder frei von Ästen und Laub geschnitten werden). Leider sind auf dem letzten Drittel kaum noch Rastmöglichkeiten, auch die Blicke auf die Mosel leider sehr zugewachsen . Was sehr heraussticht sind die tollen Weitblicke bis in die Nachbarländer Frankreich und Luxemburg....( wir hatten Glück und total klares Wetter) Fazit: Der Weg macht Lust auf die

    Super mooie route, tegen de klok in gelopen zodat we makkelijker begonnen en niet zo lang omhoog hoefden te lopen. Erg mooie vergezichten en rotsformaties. Veel bankjes en overdekte plekken.

    Was für eine schöne Tour.Heute bei schönstem Rosenmontagswetter gemacht. Perfekt ausgeschildert. Abwechslungsreich. Ein Stück des Weges plätschert links der Bach , rechts die Felsformationen der Kollesleuker Schweiz. Dazwischen läuft der Wanderer. Toll ! Ab Kilometer 9 bis Kilometer 11 ist der Anstieg etwas anstrengend. Wir haben ( 66 und 70 Jahre alt ) es auch geschafft . Angekommen auf dem Eiderberg kann man die wunderschöne Weitsicht genießen.Bequem geht es die letzten Meter zur Freudenburg hinunter.
