Hiking Trail
Route profile
Notice
In the tour planner we inform you under the tab "Current info" about temporary route changes, closures and detours.
The hiking trail VR16 - Eisvogel-Ökumene connects the Eisvogelweg (this trail ends in Hausen) as a circular trail via Mittelhofen back to the starting point.
Hike in the Lasterbach valley along the Krumbach and Lasterbach streams. The trademark of the hiking trail is the kingfisher and the VR16 signposts pointing hikers in the right direction.
Numerous information boards provide information about the nature along and in the stream and explain the nearby flora and fauna. Local history is also explained here. Benches at various points invite you to take a break. The entire route leads along natural paths through the beautiful valley landscape of Krummbach and Lasterbach. Sometimes you walk directly along the stream, sometimes through the meadows near the stream with their typical plant species.
B54 to Rennerod. In the center of the village head towards L298 to Westernohe. The church with parking lot is located in the center of the village.
We recommend traveling by car
Parking on the village square at the Catholic Church
The circular tour starts in Westernohe at the church. The trail leads out of the village and along mostly natural paths past Krummbach and Lasterbach towards Hüblingen and back to the starting point.
Directly opposite the church is the Elsternest café in a half-timbered house. There is a great selection of homemade cakes here.
If you are of the opinion that certain sections of the trail are not suitable for you, then you should avoid them. Especially in adverse weather conditions, muddy and slippery passages can occur on near-natural paths.
In autumn in particular, you should be aware that leaves lying on the ground can hide uneven surfaces, roots, stones or holes in the path. You have to reckon with this type of path impairment when you go on a hike.
Although the path is very well marked throughout, you should always have a suitable hiking map with you for safety reasons or download the free "Experience Rhineland-Palatinate" app.
Wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing that is suitable for the weather and protects you from the cold and wet or the heat and sun.
Take enough liquid with you. Refreshment stops are not available everywhere.
Please wear hiking boots that are suitable for the route and offer sufficient grip even on slippery and steep or rocky and uneven paths.
From May to October there is a cozy farm café at the Brechelbacher Hof where delicious homemade cakes and waffles are offered.
