Discover Feusdorf

Explore Feusdorf on three hiking trails, each with its own distinct character. When planning, the key differences are the trail length and landscape: F2 runs mostly along forest paths, while F4 is a longer circular route through predominantly open countryside. F5 adds geological and landscape features to the mix, as well as a start and finish at the community centre.

Hiking trails: F2, F4 and F5

The 6.4-kilometre F2 hiking trail follows wide forest paths. One particularly scenic section runs alongside the Bisselbach stream. From the highest point near Esch, you can see Hohe Acht and Aremberg; views of Nürburg and Ernstberg also feature at the beginning and end of the route. The distance of these views depends on the weather.

At 7.2 kilometres, F4 is longer and forms a circular route around Feusdorf through predominantly open countryside. The route offers wide-ranging views across the Eifel and towards Feusdorf. This gives it a different character from F2, which is more defined by its wide forest paths. Check current trail conditions before setting out, as routes and conditions can change.

The F5 hiking trail starts and ends at the car park by the community centre. Along the way, it passes the geological formation Hippelsteinchen near the juniper heaths; a viewpoint lies below Auf dem Langen. The F5’s landscape also includes fields and the countryside around Feusdorf, as well as a nature reserve near Gönnersdorf. If you plan to park at the community centre, check the local parking situation in advance.

Local character and points of interest

There are also several notable spots in the village that bring local history into your walk. The small Marian chapel was built in 1992 and stands on Auf den Aachen above Feusdorf. The village fountain was created in 2003 at the original site of the former village well. The church vestibule contains a cast-iron grave cross dating from the 15th century.

Im Hirtenberg near Feusdorf is a designated nature reserve and is listed in the Vulkaneifel Nature and Geopark. For hikers, it is another protected landscape designation to consider alongside the specific features of the trails.

El Rancho, located in the community centre, is a restaurant serving Spanish cuisine that combines Spanish and German dishes. Restaurant operations and offerings can change, so check current opening hours and the menu before visiting.

The Vulkaneifel on a larger scale

The wider Vulkaneifel destination has a vast geological history. So far, 77 maars have been identified there, and 350 eruption centres have been counted, including around 270 from the more recent phase. The Ulmen Maar marks the most recent volcanic eruption in the Vulkaneifel, which took place about 10,900 years ago. These figures place the region’s landscape in a broader geological and historical context.

The Vulkaneifel Trails offer another scale for planning a hike: the routes are marked and signposted, and include half-day hikes, full-day hikes and multi-day walks. They lead to scenic highlights on both sides of the Eifelsteig. When choosing a route, you can distinguish these longer regional hiking options from the specifically measured Feusdorf trails F2 and F4.
