Due to the storm damage in July 2021, part of the original circular route is not accessible. The route has been rerouted as shown on the map and signposted accordingly on site.

The circular trail 47 of the Southern Eifel Nature Park leads through a typical, rural landscape of the Southern Eifel around the village of Mettendorf.

On this trail, we experience a varied cultural landscape with wooded edges, orchards, fields and pastures as well as small stone pits, which are reminiscent of the local use of the local red sandstone.

Beautiful views of the wide Enza floodplain, where with a little luck you can watch grey herons stalking, and of Mettendorf with the surrounding deciduous forest heights of the Gutland characterize this trail. At the end of the tour, the so-called "Hexentor" is a short passage through a ravine-like valley. The path between tree roots clawed into the slope and old wooden huts seems enchanted. A short boardwalk on the valley floor keeps your feet dry even when the water is flowing strongly and gives this section an adventurous flair.

Highlights along the way:

• Mettendorf with the parish church of St. Margaretha
• Former cemetery with school forest
• "Hexentor" with gorge-like valley
• Waterfall in the Asterbach valley
