Description
A varied hike around the Ooser Nase near Müllenborn. Enjoy the tour through deep Eifel forests, past springs and the meandering Oosbach stream.
The hike begins at the Müllenborn pond and from there you climb upwards around the Ooser Nase. Everywhere you encounter the remains of the volcanic past. Huge boulders from the Rother Kopf volcano, which rises on the opposite side, are scattered all over the forest. After leaving the forest, you have a view of Büdesheim, which lies in a wide valley on the eastern edge of the Prümer limestone syncline. You hike around the village of Oos and along the Oosbach stream back to Müllenborn. A special feature are the karst springs that bubble up in and around Müllenborn in the valley of the wild and romantic Oosbach. The strong springs were already used to drive mills in the early Middle Ages, which is how the village got its name. Müllenborn once had five mills, which were not primarily flour mills, however, but were used for wood and iron processing. A beautiful hike, which on the one hand offers a wonderful walk through the forest, but also beautiful panoramic views.

Further information
From the car park, turn left and walk under the subway of the old railway line. The ascending path takes us past the shooting range and then turns right into the forest. After turning left, we walk straight ahead, leave the forest and have a beautiful view of the Eifel landscape. Keep left at the T-junction. Take the right-hand path at the next fork. After a while, the forest path turns right onto a small path and leads past the Peter-Scholz cross. Keep right at the signpost and continue on the right-hand path at the crossroads. Finally, we leave the forest, leave the crossroads on the right and follow the path downhill. From the bend, we keep to the right and see Büdesheim in the distance.
We stay on the path and walk downhill. The village of Oos is on the left. The field path turns left onto a meadow path. At the end, we keep to the right and stroll past the Oosbach stream. We come to the fishing hut at the springs and continue along the stream. We then turn left onto a small path and follow it under the railway bridge until it ends at the Roden-Brot bakery. Here we turn right and then come to Müllenborner Strasse and see the car park on the left.
- With good preparation, hiking in the Eifel is great fun.
- Wear appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes.
- Carry a rucksack with drinks, provisions and a mobile phone.
