Nitztal between forest paths, viewpoints and a cycling route

Nitztal connects several paths with viewpoints, forest and meadow landscapes, as well as a permanently timed cycling route. If you choose accommodation in Nitztal, you can therefore match the location particularly well to your planned activities: There are short and longer circular routes, tours with views of the valley and a measured sporting route for bicycles.

Circular routes starting and ending in Nitztal

The Almenackerweg is a circular route approximately 2.5 km long. The start and finish are at the Schützenstraße car park in Nitztal. This provides a compact loop with a clearly defined starting point alongside the considerably longer Panoramaweg Nitztal. This route is 7.9 km long and also starts and ends at the Schützenstraße car park in Nitztal. The different distances help you compare the paths according to the time available and the desired scope of your outing.

The Panoramaweg leads from Nitztal through a quiet forest up to the Bleiberg. From the Schälkopf, it offers a view from above over Nitztal. The Bleiberghütte is also located directly on the Panoramaweg; it can be rented for barbecues in summer. This combination of a forest passage, a viewpoint and a seasonal opportunity to spend time together gives the route further identifiable points of interest for planning your day beyond hiking alone.

Steinbüchel, valley views and changing landscapes

The Nitzblickrunde leads from the centre of Nitztal up to the Steinbüchel, at 524 m above sea level, and offers views into the Nitz Valley. It is suitable for families with children. The Bürresheimrunde also leads to the Steinbüchel, which is 524 m above sea level, and offers a view over the Nitz Valley during the ascent. For comparing the two routes, both the shared elevation point and the respective viewing direction are therefore relevant.

On the return journey to Nitztal, the Schlossweg runs along the small Nitzbach stream. The Eifeltraum hiking trail between Kürrenberg and Nitztal combines varied hillside forest with open fields and meadows. Those who value different landscapes and several hiking themes when choosing accommodation can compare streams, forest, open spaces and valley views along different routes.

A measured route for cycling

The Nitztal hill time-trial route is a permanently timed cycling route starting in Mayen-Nitztal and finishing in Kirchwald. It covers approximately 2.5 km, around 240 metres of elevation gain and an average gradient of approximately 5 percent. The starting station is located at the junction of St.-Johanner-Straße and Kirchwalder Straße in Nitztal. For sport-oriented visitors, the route length, elevation gain, average gradient, start and finish are all clearly defined.

A visitor mine as an additional activity

The Bendisberg mine is a visitor mine and is located approximately 700 metres from St. Joster Weg.

Choosing accommodation in Nitztal according to your interests

The Almenackerweg and the Panoramaweg start and end at the Schützenstraße car park, while the Nitzblickrunde starts in the centre of the village and the hill time-trial route has its own starting station at the junction of St.-Johanner-Straße and Kirchwalder Straße. This allows accommodation in Nitztal to be considered according to your preferred focus, whether hiking, viewpoints, landscapes, cycling or a visit to the visitor mine.
