View of Arras

We start our hike in Springiersbach at the parking lot opposite the monastery church. From here, we go left past the church and monastery shop, then right under the archway. Now it goes straight uphill. From here we are on the "Kondelwaldweg" (Kondel Forest Trail), well marked with white signs featuring a black "K". After about 200 m, we have another beautiful view of the monastery. We continue steadily uphill on the Kondelwaldweg. At the top, you can see toward the Mosel hills up to the Zell Barl industrial area. Now it goes downhill to the K35 road. Here, we turn right and walk about 100 m to the bike path on the B49. We follow it left for about 50 m, then turn left uphill, parallel to the federal highway, onto a forest path. From here, it goes uphill again over a distance of about 1 km. At the top, you have multiple views to the right between the fir trees of Arras Castle. At the next intersections, we continue straight until we meet hiking path "20," a white sign with black "20". We follow this to a sadly dilapidated shelter hut. Here, we meet again the very lightly trafficked K35. From the district road, we have a beautiful view into the Wittlich Basin. Continue on the road about 500 m downhill. In a hairpin turn, turn right onto hiking path "4," a white sign with black "4." We follow this path to the second intersection. If you want to shorten the hike by about 500 m here, you can continue on path 4 to the "Ramisch Oak." We choose from the two paths branching right the left one. We follow this path past the "Reiberkreuz" to the "Ramisch Oak." There is again the possibility to shorten the hike by about 1.5 km. For this, you only need to follow the paved road back to Springiersbach. However, we turn left from the paved road after 20 m and then right onto a path after another 20 m. We are now on hiking path "1," a white sign with red "1" and a direction arrow. We follow this past the Roman villa until we are back on the paved road. Continuing past the "Kellerberg" shelter hut and later the barbecue hut at the forest parking lot, we turn left into the village at the first houses of Springiersbach. We pass the family holiday center and after a short distance reach the starting point of our hike again. At the end of our tour, you have two options to refresh yourself.

At the Café „Christe Paul,“ which is located directly at the parking lot, or at the "Alte Gasthaus Pütz," about 1 km away in the center of Bengel (please observe opening hours)

No opportunities to stop for food or drinks during the hike. Please bring enough provisions.

On the hike, you pass the "Römmervilla," a former Roman farmstead (villa rustica).

B49 to Bengel, then turn off towards Springiersbach

There is ample parking available at the starting point.
