Kindererlebnisweg Sieg | Fotosafari auf dem Wildwiesenweg | Eitorf

The photo safari leads through a meadow-rich, small stream valley as well as through forest and tax orchards

 

At the start of the tour, an idyllic country lane takes you along a series of fragrant meadows through the tranquil Mengbach valley. Here, the stream that gives the valley its name bubbles merrily through the small valley, which is kept open by regular mowing. The route leads gently uphill; venerable oaks line the path. In summer, the air is full of birdsong and butterflies provide a splash of color. Soon a majestic-looking forest with a few clearings replaces the tranquil atmosphere of the stream valley. A partly narrow forest path leads you to the “Gecksbitze”. In the forest, you will be surprised by a small green clearing under chestnut trees. On the crest of the hill is a larger clearing with a solitary fruit grove. After a few hundred meters of forest path, there is an extensive sunny hillside meadow where you can take a break. Here, the small Storcker hut with barbecue facilities invites you to enjoy a picnic. From here, the view sweeps far across the meadows down to Eitorf and the wooded heights of Leuscheid. Before you soon reach the starting point again on a quiet asphalt path, one orchard follows the next on the last downhill section. The trees in the meadows bear different varieties of fruit, some of which are old, and are considered biotopes worthy of protection: according to experts, up to 5,000 different plant and animal species live in an orchard meadow.

It is an advantage to carry food and drink in your rucksack as there are no refreshment stops.

Please be careful: you should not leave the paths in the nature reserve. And please note: the hunting game dummies of the archery club are not part of the photo safari!

Suitable for baby carriages in dry conditions.

Don't forget your sturdy shoes and camera on the photo safari!

Take part in the competition for little explorers - great prizes await! Don't forget your camera!

The small Storcker hut with barbecue facilities is a great place to stop for a picnic. Here you have a great view of Eitorf.
