Dörferblick-Schleife (Kirmutscheid - Pomster - Barweiler)

The Kirmutscheid parish church of St. Wendelinus sits idyllically at the starting point of the 14-kilometre panoramic trail around Pomster and Barweiler.

Accompanied by the babbling Trierbach stream, the route leads to the viewing platform of the Dörferblick loop just before Pomster. The magnificent distant view offers the viewer a wonderful view over the varied Eifel landscape with the striking Aremberg (623 m), 12 picturesque villages and the once mighty ruined Nürburg castle on Mons Nore, the black mountain (678 m). A bench invites you to take a short break.

Spectacular places, dreamy meadow valleys and colourful mixed forests reflect the unspoilt nature of the Eifel along the entire route.

To the tour planner

The Kirmutscheid parish church of St. Wendelinus sits idyllically enthroned at the starting point of the 14-kilometre panoramic trail around Pomster and Barweiler. Accompanied by the babbling Trierbach stream, the route leads through the small village of Kirmutscheid, which has just a few houses, into a coppice forest of oaks and hornbeams. Surrounded by the natural tranquillity, the hiker is led along a gently ascending forest path to the wooden viewing platform of the panoramic viewpoint just before Pomster. The marvellous distant view offers the observer a wonderful view over the varied Eifel landscape with the striking Aremberg (623 m), 12 picturesque villages and the once mighty Nürburg castle ruins on Mons Nore, the black mountain (678 m). A bench invites you to take a short break. The circular route continues through the village of Pomster. Here you will find charming quarry stone and half-timbered houses in a tranquil village setting next to the small historic chapel, and the route leads through a meadow valley and mixed forest past ant colonies into the natural floodplain of the Wenigbach stream. The Wenigbach is crossed via stepping stones. After heavy rain, the crossing can be somewhat difficult. Wet feet are possible! Once again, the natural tranquillity is captivating and guides the hiker further through open meadows, fields and hedgerow landscapes past the Roßbach stream gently up to Barweiler. Here, it is worth visiting the pilgrimage church of St Gertrud before the path leads through a beautiful avenue and varied Eifel nature, offering a wonderful view of the church in Kirmutscheider and taking you back to the starting point.
