Discover the region

Geographically, Neroth lies on the edge of the Eifel National Park and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The municipality is located at an altitude of 400 metres and thus offers a magnificent view of the surrounding area. The area is particularly known for its numerous volcanic cones as well as the river Kyll, which flows through the area.

Neroth has a lot to offer its guests: Start your discovery tour with a visit to the historic church of St. Nikolaus dating back to the 12th century or explore Kerpen Castle dating back to the 16th century - an absolute highlight for those interested in history.

But there are also cultural highlights to be found here: in summer, concerts are held regularly where you can admire local artists. For all gourmets, there are culinary specialities such as hearty potato pancakes or delicious game dishes.

The nature around Neroth invites you to get active: Hike along the Kylltal cycle path or take a tour to the nearby Dreimühlen waterfall - an unforgettable experience! Mountain bikers also get their money's worth here; tours through the forest between Birresborn and Gerolstein are particularly recommended.

Even when the weather is bad, Neroth offers numerous opportunities for leisure activities. For example, visit the Eifel Volcano Museum in Daun or relax in the thermal baths in Bad Bertrich.

For nature lovers, it is especially nice to explore the area in spring when everything is in bloom and green. In summer you can enjoy wonderful hiking and cycling here, while autumn with its colourful leaves is a real highlight for photographers. Those interested in winter sports, on the other hand, should arrive between December and February: Then the region transforms into a true winter wonderland.

So Neroth is definitely worth a trip! Let yourself be enchanted by this idyllic community and enjoy unforgettable moments in a breathtaking natural setting.

    Eine wirkliche Top-Tour. Ich habe 1‘900 Hm bei 103 km gemessen. Die spürt man auch, denn es geht laufend rauf: 12 grössere Anstiege. Allerdings alles fernab vom Verkehr auf Nebenstrassen und Radwegen. Tiefe Wälder, einsame Täler und Hochplateaus wechseln sich ab. Ambitionierte kommen auf ihre Kosten.

    Nette Tour durch die Wälder der Vulkaneifel. Zwei mäßig anstrengende Anstiege, zu Beginn und dann zur Freudenkoppe/Nerother Kopf. Ein kleines Teilstück auf der Straße war aufgrund Motorradfahrer nicht sicher/angenehm. Burg und Burghaus auf der Freudenkoppe laden zur Rast ein.

    Prachtige route, slechts 1 km op de weg, voor de rest voortdurend in het bos met af en toe mooie vergezichten en enkele pittige klimmetjes. Een aanrader!

    Durch die vielen Anstiege ist diese Etappe eine der anstrengendsten des ganzen Eifelsteigs. Wir sind ganz schön aus der Puste gekommen. Wenngleich auch viel zu sehen ist, gilt es vor Neroth tapfer eine längere Strecke auf einer Waldautobahn zu überstehen.

    Danke, ganz guter Weg, November-Matsch an den Schuhen ist OK. Einiges an Teerstrecken und Schotter, OK aber nicht optimal. Alles begehbar, ein paar querliegende Äste und Bäume kann man passieren, siehe Foto (bitte nicht mit Kinderwagen :-)), aber das ist gerade in den interessanteren Passagen, ab ca. km 6.3. Viel Spaß!

    Sehr schöne Etappe, einige heftige Steigungen, aber schöne Waldwege. Café Pause in Neroth empfehlenswert, man muss vom Ort auch nicht den ganzen Weg zurück zum Eifelsteig, sondern kann den Zuweg Richtung Daun nehmen. Zum Nerother Kopf recht steil.... 10 Min später schöne Hochebene mit toller Aussicht... perfekte Gelegenheit für eine weitere Rast....

    Schone Wanderung durch ne schone Gegend. Am ende des letzten Pfads ehe man wieder abbiegt nach Neroth gibt’s verschiede Baume über dem Pfad. Ist aber gut zum umgehen. Dank für diese Wanderung.
