Guided hiking tours in sign language

Geeignet für: gehörlose Menschen, Menschen mit Hörbehinderung, Senioren, Familien

One of the primary goals of the National Park Administration is to make the Eifel National Park accessible to everyone. The guided hikes in sign language are one way of attaining this goal. During these tours, which last approx. 3 hours, experts from the home for the deaf in Euskirchen translate the explanations and stories of the park ranger into German sign language. All hikes are free of charge. It is not necessary to book in advance. The staff of the Euskirchen home for the deaf will be delighted to answer any questions you may have on the hikes in sign language.
