The 5 km long SY 3 circular tour opens up the forest area to the south of the climatic health resort of Stadtkyll. The hiking trail runs through the "dicken Bösch", a dense mixed beech and oak forest.

From the start at the church square, we head south on the local SY 3 hiking trail via the Panoramaweg into the Wirfttal valley. We pass the reservoir in the Wirfttal, which serves as a rainwater retention basin. We ascend through dense oak and beech forest to the Sängscheid forest area and then turn towards the Kleenerich weekend house area.

The circular route, which offers views to the north and east, has a few uphill sections, but the climb is worth it. Around 70% of the trail is woodland. The proportion of natural path surface is around 75%.

A lovely half-day tour with a good rest stop at the Landal vacation park in Wirfttal, south of Stadtkyll. The circular tour is suitable for baby carriages to a limited extent and requires a certain level of fitness due to the inclines at the start and halfway along the route.

The SY 3 offers beautiful panoramic views from Kleenerich. Here, hikers have a view of the climatic health resort of Stadtkyll and nearby Baasem in a north-westerly direction.

From the start at the hiking board on the church square, we walk southwards along the main road to Schwammertstraße. Here we turn right uphill into Schüllerweg. We follow the Schüllerweg uphill to the edge of the village and then turn right onto the Panoramaweg. We follow the Panoramaweg along the edge of the slope to the reservoir in Wirfttal. We walk uphill along the eastern shore of the lake to the fork in the path at the old swimming pool site. Here we turn left uphill (steep ascent!).  At the top, turn sharp left again along the upper edge of the slope until you reach the viewpoint with seating on the Stadtkyll air kurt resort. From here, the route continues for a short distance to the bitumen-lined field road, which we then follow downhill to the left into the village.

With the right preparation, hiking in the Eifel is fun!
Take drinks, provisions and your mobile phone with you.
Approx. 25 % of the route is on bituminised ground.

Sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing recommended.

Rest stop at the Wirft reservoir!

Visit to the Roman Catholic parish church of St Joseph with its high altar from the 2nd half of the 18th century.
