With 800 kilometers of hiking trails, the Southern Eifel Nature Park is a paradise for active nature lovers. More and more routes through Germany's second oldest nature park are also suitable for wheelchair users.
This includes the six-kilometer hiking trail number 46 through the Nusbaumer Hardt, which was certified in July according to Travel for All.
The Nusbaumer Hardt is one of the largest contiguous forest areas in Rhineland-Palatinate, south of Nusbaum.
