Maps and trails
If you are looking for cultural highlights, you should definitely take a walk through the historic centre. Here you can admire old half-timbered houses or make your way to Malberg Castle, which dates back to the 17th century.

Olmscheid is also known for its culinary specialities such as delicious cakes and pies as well as hearty dishes like pork knuckle or game dishes with fresh side dishes from the region.

There are many options for outdoor activities: Hiking, cycling or fishing are just a few of them. When it comes to hiking, we recommend the "Traumschleife" hiking trail - this leads past picturesque landscapes and has different levels of difficulty for all fitness levels.

But what can you do in Olmscheid when it rains? Don't worry - we have some tips for you here too! How about a visit to the Bitburger Brauhaus, for example? There you can learn all about beer production and, of course, taste different varieties!

Where is the most beautiful place in Olmscheid? We recommend a trip to the Bitburg-Fliessem reservoir during the summer months - there you can swim, fish or just relax.

In summary, Olmscheid is a great destination for anyone who loves rural life and nature. There is so much to discover here - from cultural highlights to culinary specialities and outdoor activities! We hope our Travel Guide was able to give you some valuable tips and you are now ready to start your next trip to Olmscheid!

    Ohne Zweifel handelt es sich bei der Eifelgoldroute um eine sehr schöne Rundwanderung in der Südeifel, die anfangs durch das idyllische und abgeschiedene Irsental läuft und danach zu den aussichtsreichen Eifelhöhen hinauf steigt. Allerdings fehlen der Runde die herausragenden Höhepunkte. Zudem entspricht das Streckenprofil, das nur breite Forst- und Wiesenwege beinhaltet nicht unbedingt den Erfordernissen eines Premiumwanderweges. Im zweiten Teil der Strecke sind nur wenige Ruhebänke und Rastmöglichkeiten vorhanden. Hier sollte eine Nachbesserung erfolgen. Auch die in der Tourenbeschreibung erwähnte Durchwanderung von "Ginsterheiden" scheint wohl etwas übertrieben zu sein. Zu Zeiten der Ginsterblüte, also im zeitigen Frühjahr sind vier Berwertungssterne zu vertreten. Hier ein Link zum ausführlichen und bebilderten Wanderbericht der Wehrer Watzmänner: http://www.die-wehrer-watzmaenner.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=352:suedeifel-eifelgoldroute-bei-irrhausen&catid=13:eifel&Itemid=105

    Schöne Rundwanderung entlang der Ludesbach und der Irsen. Anschließend durch den Wald hoch am Solarpark vorbei über die L13 und hoch nach Olmscheid. Anschließen ist eine Einkehr im Eifelstübchen zu empfehlen.
