Schiefergrubenwanderweg

Müllenbach

The impressive Kaulenbach valley lies between the Eifel villages of Müllenbach, Laubach and Leienkaul. From 1695 to 1959, the best quality roofing slate in the slate mountains on the left bank of the Rhine was mined here. The slate quarry hiking trail, a hiking highlight on the famous "Moselle Slate Route", leads us through the "Kaulenbach Valley Slate Region" . The hike can also be started from all three villages. Before starting the hike along a scenically unique route, past old mine entrances, building remains and unique flora and fauna, you have the opportunity to visit a small, permanent exhibition and documentation on the subject of slate mining in the Schieferlandhalle Müllenbach.

The mainhighlights of the tour are

  • Route of the former slate mine railroad (little train)
  • Julius gallery
  • Colonia" pit
  • Herrenwiese with the restored slit house
  • Maria Schacht" pit
  • Maria Schacht" viewing point

The Hocheifel-Panorama-Weg connects the predicate hiking trails AhrSteig and Eifelleiter over the ridges of the Hocheifel and captivates with fantastic views. Starting at the chapel in the tranquil Eifel village of Insul, the route quickly leads through the dense deciduous forest to the ridges of the Hocheifel. Fantastic distant views from the Winnerather Höhe to the opposite Eifel peaks and even as far as the Siebengebirge promise a scenic hike.
