Description
This main hiking trail is the easternmost north-south trail of the Eifelverein. In the Eifel, the trail connects the Kottenforst south of Bonn with the lower Moselle valley, crosses the Ahr valley, touches the volcanic landscape of the Eastern Eifel and leads past the edge of the Maifeld into the Elzbach valley down to the Moselle.
The Osteifelweg (HWW 1) is divided into 8 daily stages, which can, however, be planned variably.
