Ranger Meeting Points (RT1- RT5) - Hiking for everybody

Ranger Meeting Points (abbreviated: RT) in the Eifel National Park are circuit trails guided by a Ranger. Length and therefore duration will be adopted to your abilities. If one Ranger Meeting Point for example is not accessible for strollers, there is the opportunity to make use of a second guide offering a more feasable path. The tours take place every tuesday (RT1), wednesday (RT2), friday (RT3) and saturday (RT4 and RT5).
