The South Eifel Nature Park covers an area of ​​432 square kilometers and has around 30,000 inhabitants. It combines the protection and use of nature and the landscape and preserves the opportunity to preserve the uniqueness of the typical landscapes of the southern Eifel and to shape them sustainably. At the same time, it creates attractive recreational opportunities and tourist offers for the people of the region and their visitors.
Its basic concept is protection through use in good and close cooperation with agriculture and forestry, municipalities, industry, tourism and, last but not least, nature.

    Der Klettersteig an sich ist ganz nett, im Großen und Ganzen allerdings wesentlich einfacher als das Pendant in Manderscheid und mit deutlich kürzeren Kletterelementen. Die Schwierigkeit liegt überwiegend im Bereich A/B, es gibt lediglich eine optionale D/E-Stelle. Für uns ein klassischer Einsteiger-Steig! Was uns allerdings nicht so gut gefallen hat, war die Location: Man wandert hier teilweise direkt über die Parkplätze von Rewe, Lidl und Aldi 🤷 Das kostet natürlich gehörig Punkte in Sachen Naturatmosphäre. Ein dicker Pluspunkt ist jedoch der Service: Genau wie in Manderscheid könnt ihr euch das Klettersteigset ganz unkompliziert bei der Touristen-Information ausleihen. Wir würden hier eine 3,5 / 5 ⭐ vergeben, runden aber wohlwollend auf 😊

    Eine absolute Empfehlung, wir hatten richtig viel Spaß. 6 kurze Kletterabstiege, die auch bei Bedarf umgangen werden können. Dazu tolle Pfade, schöne Aussichten, ein hübsches Städtchen und eine Burg als Finale. Kletterset ist Pflicht.

    Wirklich sehr kurzweilig und spannend! Sehr wenig los (sind bei leichtem Nieselregen vom Waldhotel Sonnenberg gestartet), beeindruckende Felsen und Passagen. Fotografieren leichter an bewölkten Tagen.
