Discover Neurath: Trails, Reservoir and Panoramic Views

Neurath is an interesting starting point for anyone who wants to combine their holiday with hikes, a bike tour and relaxing breaks by the water. Several described trails pass through the village, reach Arzfeld Reservoir or offer panoramic views above Neurath. This makes it possible to combine your choice of accommodation with a variety of holiday activities: a longer circular hike, a bike tour along the Enz Cycle Route or a picnic by the water.

Arzfeld Reservoir: A Break by the Water with Clear Rules

Arzfeld Reservoir has a sunbathing lawn and a picnic area. It is therefore a suitable destination for a break if you would like to plan some time outdoors during your stay. However, swimming and fishing are not permitted in the reservoir. This restriction should be taken into account when planning your day: here, the lake is primarily relevant as a scenic spot, resting place and starting point for hikes, not as a place for swimming or fishing.

Hiking Around Neurath and Arzfeld

One particularly specific tour option is the South Eifel Nature Park Hiking Trail No. 15, “Wilder Islek”. The 16.1-kilometre circular trail starts and ends in Arzfeld, passes through Neurath and goes by Arzfeld Reservoir. From there, the route runs downhill to Irrhausen and then follows the Holmicht stream upstream back to Arzfeld. Highlights include the reservoir and the “Valley of the Butterflies” with a small waterfall.

There is also clear information for planning your time: the “Wilder Islek” hiking route is of moderate difficulty and takes 4 hours and 25 minutes. Take this length and duration into account when choosing a holiday apartment in Neurath as the base for an active holiday. If you are looking for another route idea, you can include the “In the Footsteps of the Bobbin Men” circular hike. It reaches the reservoir near Neurath and offers panoramic views above Neurath and Windhausen.

Experience Neurath by Bike

There is also a specific starting point for a bike tour. The “Around Arzfeld1” tour follows the Enz Cycle Route through Neurath to Arzfeld Reservoir. At kilometre 31.2, Arzfeld Reservoir is designated as a resting place on this tour. This allows you to distinguish between a hike with a set circular route and a bike tour with a designated stopping point when planning your trip.
