Bigelbach: Paths between forest and valley

The forest on the Héibierg, the Kuerbaach and the Sauer Valley shape the routes around Bigelbach. On other stretches, views open up across hilly landscapes and open meadows and fields. The remains of a Roman villa are also part of the village’s character. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, it is worth considering which of these impressions you would most like to shape your holiday.

Hiking trails through varied landscapes

The local hiking trail R1 leads from the slopes of the Héibierg to Bigelbach. It crosses the Sauer Valley, passes through the forest on the Héibierg and follows the Kuerbaach to the village. This route brings together valley, forest and stream. If you like to compare different landscape features when planning your day, you will find several specific points of reference here.

R6 offers a different focus. The trail first runs through the forest along the slope of the Giedendeeltgen. In the second half, it descends across meadows and fields back to Bigelbach. The two hiking trails can therefore be distinguished by their scenery: R1 focuses on the Sauer Valley, Héibierg and Kuerbaach; R6 on the transition from forest to open spaces and the return to the village. These differences can help you choose the hike that best suits your planned holiday day.

Starting point at the church

The local hiking trail R5 starts and ends at Bigelbach church. The Mullerthal Trail ExtraTour B can also start and end there. For the ExtraTour, the church is one possible starting and ending point, but not the only one. If you like to plan your route around a named place, this distinction offers a practical point of reference. The nearest bus stop for R5 is right there: Bigelbach, Kiirch. Check the timetable in advance for your bus journey.

Far-reaching views and local history

On its stretch through Bigelbach, the Mullerthal Trail ExtraTour B offers far-reaching views across the hilly landscapes of the Our and Sauer valleys. In the hamlet of Reisdorf, there are beautiful views of the Sauer Valley and the German Eifel. The views mentioned therefore differ in what they take in: in Bigelbach, the view extends across the hilly landscapes of two valleys, while in Reisdorf the Sauer Valley and the German Eifel are highlighted.

The remains of a Roman villa are part of Bigelbach’s history. Saint-Lambert Church is associated with Reisdorf and Bigelbach. These historical and religious connections add another dimension to the landscapes along the trails.

Cycling towards Reisdorf

If you would rather include a cycling route in your plans than go hiking, M2 Up and Down descends towards Reisdorf just beyond Bigelbach. The cycling route is rated as moderately difficult and offers a beautiful view of the Sauer Valley. This gives you another way to explore the area alongside the varied hiking landscapes. Here, the view of the Sauer Valley appears once again, this time in connection with the ride to Reisdorf.

Choose a holiday apartment to suit your travel plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Bigelbach, you can start with the activities you have planned: would you like to explore the forest, valley and stream sections of R1, the transition from forest to meadows and fields on R6, or the cycling route towards Reisdorf? The starting point at the church may also be a factor in planning your day.
