Show on Map

Hikers' car park Quarzkaul, above the Kalvarienberg monastery

The circular hiking tour starts at the Quarzkaul hikers' car park above the Calvarienberg monastery. From here, it first goes along the Wingsbach stream and then on a wide path to the Maibach farm. Along the path, meadows, pastures and individual groups of trees spread out on the valley floor. Shortly before the entrance to the Maibachfarm, a small path on the right leads uphill into the forest. First, the path leads along the fence of the winery grounds to a bench on a wider path. The trail then continues downhill again across the Wingsbach stream and on the other side of the stream along a wide forest path.

After crossing the Wingsbach a few times, the trail moves away from the stream and leads into Hungertal. From here it goes uphill again into the forest through coniferous and deciduous forest passages until you reach two stately Douglas fir trees. Then, after a short ascent without any significant gradient, the trail continues through a beautiful pine forest. After about 2 kilometres, the trail only goes downhill through a beautiful mixed forest and to the edge of the forest and the vineyard above Ahrweiler. The trail then leads back along the vineyards to the hikers' car park.
