Krummenacker offers panoramic views of Feuerscheid. Three signposted hiking trails give you a practical way to explore the area on foot. The main settlement is on a southeast-facing slope at an average elevation of 470 metres. The local area extends from Schwarzbach in the Nims Valley to Denterhof on the Lascheider Plateau.
Hiking, Cycling and Getting Here
The marked nature trails pass through forests and alongside small streams. This makes the choice of trail a different kind of experience from the viewpoint: the trails focus on forests and waterways, while Krummenacker offers panoramic views. Check the local signposting before setting off, as it may change.
Feuerscheid also promotes cycling on Eifel cycle routes. Check the route signage and condition of the cycle paths before setting off. The A60 motorway connection is a useful reference point when planning your journey; plan your specific route based on your starting point.

Traditions and Local History
Scheefsonndich is observed on the Sunday after Ash Wednesday; the tradition includes a large bonfire made of straw or brushwood. After the fire, the couple who were most recently married traditionally prepare Nuuzen and pancakes, which are then served. If you want to include this custom in your travel plans, check the date and arrangements in advance. You should also ask whether the food will be available to visitors at a particular event.
The Feuerscheid Hiking Days programme begins with a torchlight procession for children, followed by roasting bread on sticks. The programme also includes a guided hike with games. Dates and arrangements may vary, so check the event dates if you are planning your trip around them.
Architecture and linguistic history also contribute to the area’s local character. The branch church of St Valentine was consecrated in 1960. Hardt Chapel was built in 1957 to replace an earlier building. Feuerscheid was nearly destroyed by three major fires. The local dialect belongs to the Moselle Franconian dialect group.
