Due to the flooding in July 2021, the Eifel railway line is currently not fully accessible.

The 528 km long EifelBahnSteig is a pure GPS trail, and its name already indicates what makes this trail so special: you hike from station to station and explore the most beautiful landscapes along the entire Eifelbahn route on these tours. Each stage begins at a station and ends at the next station. These are therefore all long-distance hikes on which the hiker gets to know the most beautiful landscapes along the entire Eifelbahn route. The Eifelbahn takes you back to the starting point in just a few minutes.

The EifelBahnSteig is not about getting from A to B as quickly as possible. Even though the start and finish stations are often not far apart, the stages can be quite long, as as many of the beauties and special features of the surrounding landscape are included in the route. The EifelBahnSteig runs for the most part on natural paths that are not marked; small paths, secluded passages and frequent changes of direction are preferred. Due to their natural character, some of these paths can be overgrown with tall grasses in summer or muddy and rutted after heavy rainfall. However, the routes are exceptionally beautiful and lead into regions that are often not touched by conventional hiking routes.

Some stages of the EifelBahnSteig also lead through the Bitburger Land region. Here you will find stages 17 to 25, which lead from Densborn to Daufenbach.
