Circular trail, start/finish: village square at the community centre, Stadtkyller Straße, 54589 Kerschenbach, length: 2.3 km, duration: 1 hour

From the car park at the town hall in the centre of Kerschenbach in Stadtkyller Straße, we walk along the village road (eastwards) and pass the local rest area with a shelter and children's playground. There is also a large information board from the North Eifel Nature Park here. Shortly after the rest area, we cross the Kerschenbach stream on a road embankment and then turn up the stream valley onto a field path until we reach the confluence of the Kalkerbach and Dürrbach streams to form the Kerschenbach stream. Here there is an information board about a mine accident that took place here in September 1945. We then turn uphill back to the village square.

There are the following special information points on the circular tour: mine accident at the Kalkerbach bridge, history of the Kerschenbach mill, Kerschenbach wayside crosses, St Lucia Kerschenbach chapel. All points have a detailed description.

Tip: A detour to the local St Lucia chapel is well worthwhile!

Details

We first walk downhill along Stadtkyller Straße into the Kerschenbach valley. The Stadtkyller Straße becomes the K 64 country road, on which we cross the bridge embankment on the Kerschenbach. Immediately after the bridge embankment, we take the bituminised farm track to the right up the valley and walk along this for approx. 1 km up the valley. There is a small wood to our right and left, which provides shade on hot days. We cross the stream on a small bridge and turn right uphill at the fork in the path just after the bridge. We return to the village square via the village street.

The hiking trail is signposted throughout according to the criteria of the German Hiking Association. There are main signposts with distance information and intermediate signposts at regular intervals.

Please note: from the end of Stadtkyller Straße to the end of Brückendamm Kerschenbach, the hiking trail crosses the busy K 64. Please pay attention to road traffic!

Sturdy shoes and packed lunch with drinking water. There are no refreshment stops on the tour.

The barbecue hut/village square invites you to linger. There are special points along the route with information boards.

A detour to the local St Luiza chapel is well worthwhile!
