Auderath: Hiking and Cycling

The Dream Trail through the wild Endert Valley gives Auderath a distinctive connection to hiking. A cycling route also passes through the village, and Auderath is located in the Vulkanbike Trail Park.

Hiking in the Endert Valley and the Eifel

The Dream Trail passes through Auderath’s territory and leads through the wild Endert Valley. The route is around 20 kilometres long and connects Ulmen with Cochem; several places to stop for refreshments are located along the way. Check the specific trail conditions before setting off.

The Eifelsteig and the Traumpfade are also among the Eifel hiking options for which Auderath serves as a starting point. This means there are other hiking themes to consider when planning, in addition to the named Dream Trail connection. When choosing your tour, you can focus on the route and conditions before setting off.

Cycling route or mountain biking network

The 77-kilometre Vulkan-Rad-Route Eifel passes through Auderath, connecting Dümpelfeld on the Ahr with Bad Bertrich. The Vulkanbike Trail Park, where the village is located, is a separate attraction. It is considered an extensive, signposted mountain biking network of around 750 kilometres. This puts a specifically named route between two places alongside a larger network for mountain bike tours. Check trail conditions and signposting before planning a ride.

A local place to shop for provisions

A self-service outlet in Auderath sells fresh eggs daily and pasta made with the producer’s own eggs. If you plan to shop there, check whether the products are available before your visit.

More experiences in the wider Cochem-Zell travel region

The wider Cochem-Zell travel region offers culture, nature and other places to visit. The medieval Imperial Castle of Cochem was restored and rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style by Louis Ravené in the 19th century as part of the Romanticism of the castles movement. The interiors open to visitors include the Knights’ Hall, dining room, hunting room and women’s quarters. On Fridays and Saturdays, the castle offers rustic knights’ feasts under the name “Gasterey nach Art der alten Rittersleut”. Check the current dates before adding this to your itinerary.

Nature in the wider Cochem-Zell travel region also has a notable connection to bird migration: the Jungferweiher is an important breeding and resting area for numerous bird species, particularly in spring and autumn. The Geierlay suspension bridge is another well-known example of the scale of regional attractions. It is 360 metres long and stands 100 metres above the Mörsdorfer Bachtal, between Sosberg in Cochem-Zell district and Mörsdorf in Rhein-Hunsrück district.

Many tourist attractions in Cochem-Zell are well connected to the public transport network; the visitor programme lists the relevant bus or train line for each one. Check the current connection when planning a specific journey. These regional options complement the hiking and cycling opportunities in Auderath without conflating them with excursions across the whole of Cochem-Zell.
