Durch die Wacholderheiden zum Hippelsteinchen in Gönnersdorf

Aug 27, 2025

Gönnersdorf

The limestone ridges in the area of the Eifel limestone hollows are known as the Tuscany of the Eifel. The appearance of the landscape with its impressive juniper heaths is very close to the Italian model. The juniper bushes belong to the cypress family and characterise the southern foothills of the Dollendorf limestone depressions around Gönnersdorf. But this landscape is not only special because of the juniper bushes, but also because of the barren and dry slopes. The nature reserve "Mäuerchenberg, Hirdenberg and Pinnert" in the north-east of the village, with its rare flora and fauna, is a relic of historical forms of farming. Centuries of extensive grazing have created valuable habitats. With a little luck, you can discover orchids and gentians here, or observe colourful butterflies, lizards and slow worms. The highlight of the round tour is the "Hippelsteinchen", a dolomite rock around which numerous legends revolve.

The 4 km long circular route takes about 2.5 hours to complete.

Price: € 5.00 per person, € 8.00 per couple, free for children under 10.
Meeting point: 54584 Gönnersdorf, Zum Hirdenberg (drive straight on from the B 421 to the car park).
