Rund um den Arensberg

Walsdorf

The varied circular trail leads through the idyllic Loogh, to the geologically impressive Arensberg volcanic hilltop and past the historic Arnulphus Chapel.

The hike around the Arensberg starts and ends at the parish hall in Zilsdorf. From there, the approximately 10.4-kilometre circular trail leads through the gently undulating landscape of the Volcanic Eifel. The trail is classified as moderately difficult and is ideal for hikers looking for a balanced mix of nature enjoyment and exercise. After starting in Zilsdorf, you reach the idyllic village of Loogh, which invites you to linger with its quiet alleyways and the Gröner Hof with its restaurant and show dairy. The route continues through meadows and forests to the Arensberg, a striking volcanic hilltop of great geological significance. It is the only surviving volcanic peak from the Tertiary period and was formed by two eruptions around 32 and 24 million years ago. The Arensberg offers fascinating insights into the region's volcanic past. The trail then continues past a small chapel dedicated to St. Arnulphus to Zilsdorf, where the tour ends at the starting point.

Ferienwohnung Herding

Natur-Schwimmteich
In the tranquil village of Loogh in the middle of the Vulkaneifel, close to the Eifelsteig, you will find the Herding vacation apartment as part of a vacation home. The apartment has recently been partially renovated and lovingly furnished. A separate entrance to the apartment leads through the hallway into a modern country-style kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped (dishwasher, microwave, stove, fridge, coffee machine, crockery etc.). You then enter the cozy living room, where two sofas invite you to linger in front of the fireplace. In the adjoining conservatory is the dining room with a large table that easily seats 6 people.The recently renovated bathroom is accessible from the hallway. It has a large walk-in shower with seating. There are two small bedrooms opposite the bathroom. They offer space for a 2x2m bed (bedroom 1) and a 2x1.4m bed (bedroom 2). Bedroom 2 also has a closet. The bedrooms are only separated by a door and bedroom 1 is a connecting room for bedroom 2. We therefore recommend our vacation apartment for families or groups who know each other very well. In the large outdoor area there is a terrace with seating, the large wild and romantic garden and two natural ponds. One of these two natural ponds can also be used as a swimming pond. Both ponds are freely accessible and not fenced in - this should be taken into account when booking with small children.The vacation apartment is located in a small village and the garden is often visited by cats from the neighboring farms (note allergy risk). We invite you to come to rest in this idyllic setting. Details ansehen
