A circular cycle tour in the Kalkeifel, wonderful natural landscapes and the Dreimühlen waterfall are waiting to be discovered

The Dreimühlen waterfall is one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the Eifel. Due to a sea that lay here over 300 million years ago, the subsoil is still very rich in limestone today. At the beginning of the 20th century, the spring streams were merged there to create a common drainage into the valley and to enable the construction of the railroad. The deposits continue to build up and a limestone sinter rock develops, which grows further into the valley every year. The spring water contains a lot of lime, which constantly clings to the moss and becomes encrusted.

The tour starts at the historic train station in Ahrdorf. This is where the Kalkeifel cycle path starts in the direction of Nohn. The Ahbach stream accompanies you along the way. After around 5 kilometers with a moderate incline, you reach the village of Ahütte. Continue to the first highlight of the tour, the Dreimühlen waterfall. Take a break and take the steps down to the waterfall to admire it in all its glory and refresh yourself in the hot temperatures. The route continues past the Nohner Mühle mill to Üxheim. Here you can stop at the Maria Himmelfahrt parish church before the tour takes you back to the starting point.

Tip: The newly opened museum station in Ahütte is another highlight along the route. Historical photos, timetables of the "Obere Ahrtalbahn" and the station restaurant invite you to discover and enjoy.
