The approx. 7-kilometre hike starts at the church of St. Lucia in Eicherscheid, which was built in 1933. The picturesque village is surrounded by centuries-old hedgerows and also has a lot of charm in its interior. Listed half-timbered houses, which hide behind meter-high hedges from the strong Eifel wind, small chapels and wayside crosses characterize the village center.

You leave the idyllic Eifel village in a westerly direction and immerse yourself directly in the impressive hedgerow landscape that characterizes the landscape around the village.

You soon reach the first watercourse, the Holzbach, and follow the lively low mountain stream until it flows into the Belgenbach. From here, the trail follows the stream valley in a southerly direction and you walk through a beautiful natural mixed forest area, which has been declared a nature reserve due to the presence of numerous rare animal and plant species. You will pass the Belgenbach mill, which is the oldest grain milling complex in the Monschau region.

Further on, you will come across the Alsdorf Miner's Cross, which commemorates the mining accident that took place on October 29, 1930.

You then follow the Drosselbach stream northwards, accompanied by the babbling of the stream, back to Eicherscheid. Shortly before reaching the village, the trees thin out and you can once again take in the beauty of the hedgerow landscape before the path leads you back to the starting point.
