After the village of Träg, the path runs through a remote and romantic forest. Once the forest divides, glimpses of other villages can be seen. On the way back to the starting point, you will walk past contemporary witnesses from the past such as the Roman Langmauer.

Before the tour begins, the ruins of a moated castle, the "church", the "deanery", the "Hermenbrunnen" and the "Hermenköpfe", offer a magnificent insight into the eventful past of this village. Through one of the two former "city gates" the trail leads over a moat towards "Schilzenburg". From a distance you can spot the former monastery "Helenenberg". Worth a visit is the baroque church. Before entering a quieter part of the forest, the path now leads along a main road for approx. 200 m Another highlight is the "Geiderkreuz". The idyllic place invites you to linger. Cross the "Kreuzweg" at the "Schankstor" (former city gate) and head back to the starting point.

From the viewpoint "Kuhberg" the trail runs through the dense forest. Passing a thick oak tree, the route leads on natural paths. The highlight of the tour is the Altricher cave. The former stone quarry also served as protection in difficult times. Walk through the forest back to the village center. After a small climb, you will be rewarded with fantastic all-round views of the Eifel.

From the start, you will be guided through the village, along typical Eifel houses, farms and numerous wells. Past former quarries the way slowly leads downhill towards the river Kyll. Along the river the path runs through the village "Kyll". After a short walk along the road Kreisstrasse 17, the path then turns into the forest.
