The Eifelsteig is a well-marked trail meandering through the German states of Nordrhein-Westfalen and Rheinland-Pfalz along the borders of Belgium and Luxemburg. The trail offers magnificent paths through deep valleys, along pastures and delving into heavy forests, and there is always some form of river, stream or lake nearby making the trail varied and beautiful. The “tag line” for the Eifelsteig is “Just you, the water and the rocks”, and while the “just you” part isn’t always true as there are quite a lot of people hiking in these areas, there is a lot of water and a lot of rock formations to explore along the way!
