Landal holiday park in Wirfttal, Wirftstr. 81, 54589 Stadtkyll

The water trail leads around the Landal vacation park to several water attractions and is easy to hike with children.

The water trail in Wirfttal, south of Stadtkyll, leads over 4.8 km around the Landal vacation park and focuses on the theme of water. The trail passes 2 reservoirs, the Ladbach valley with natural water treading basin, the Wirftbach valley (nature reserve) and the birch quarry forest on Sängscheid. The various manifestations of water, the proximity to the bodies of water and the different natural water phenomena are the focus of the approx. 2-hour circular tour. Another highlight along the way is the arnica meadow in Sängscheid. It is a very special natural area with numerous rare plants and animals. We also pass very old forest boundary stones, which were once used to mark the individual forest areas.

There are refreshment stops in Stadtkyll and at the Landal Ferienpark am oberen See.

The trail leads partly along forest paths with a water-bound surface and partly along natural paths.

The path is well signposted in both directions. We start at the reception of the Landal holiday park, walk past the campsite (forest side) to the Ladbach valley. There is a natural water treading pool here. We then follow the Ladbach uphill and after approx. 500 metres turn left into a hollow path. We follow this further uphill until we reach a forest path running across it. We cross this straight ahead and then follow the hiking trail, which has now become a path, through a birch quarry forest to the hiking trail that crosses it. We follow this initially straight ahead then left downhill to the Arnikawiese nature reserve. Here we turn left downhill, after approx. 500 metres turn right and finally reach the lower reservoir in Wirfttal. From here it is only 300 m up the valley to the Landal holiday park at the upper reservoir, our starting point.
