A leisurely walk through the idyllic countryside around Gais.
The Gaisinger Waalweg, which is about 1.5 km long, is an extremely popular destination and offers visitors of all ages not only a lovely walking experience but also interesting insights into the area’s cultural history. As well as shady woodland paths, you can look forward to open meadows and fields, as well as beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The walk is ideal for a relaxing break in the countryside and offers charming scenic experiences in every season. The peaceful atmosphere is particularly pleasant, making this walk a lovely way to get to know Gais and its natural surroundings at a leisurely pace and to escape the daily routine for a while.
The starting point of the hike is the parish church in Gais. From here, walk in the direction of the street "Talfriedenstraße", then cross the "Ahr" bridge and continue walking, between the houses, in a north-easterly direction up to the forest, where the "Waalweg" begins (about 20 minutes' walk from the bridge). The path leads flatly through the steep forest hillsides in a southerly direction and ends north of the Bärentalhof farm, where it joins a wide corridor path. You turn right and return to the starting point of the hike on the slightly descending field path that runs through meadows and fields.
