I've only wa...Hey and thanks for your comment!<br /><br />I've only walked a part of the Eifelsteig so I can only help you with that. My recommendation is to read my article http://hikelighter.blogspot.be/2012/09/hiking-eifelsteig-lighter-roetgen.html which has some tips but I'll sum them up here.<br /><br />Good places to camp:<br />The first day in Steling was great, this is between Roetgen and Monschau. This is the highest point of stage 2 (in my book it's P9 on the map). There's a meadow and you can see windmills on the other hill. Jump in the meadow and camp there. It's stunning<br /><br />Stage 3: Monschau-Einruht. This is tricky. You have lots of ups and downs and the best places to camp are or too early to stop or too far (for us) to reach with daylight. So we camped near Dedenborn but I suggest you walk the entire stage to Einruhr and get a nice spot there when things flatten out.<br /><br />Stage 4: No doubt about it, if you feel it's time to set up camp and you're in Kickley or Modenhübel, do it. These are two high points with lots of sun and views. We made the mistake to keep going and ending up near a water filtration station near Gemünd.<br /><br />Stage 5: After reaching Steinfeld (no shops whatsoever!!) we camped just outside the village. In a meadow where we could still see the houses. This stage has large open spaces all through but some of it is for agriculture. We camped here https://maps.google.be/maps?q=50.499228,+6.568686&num=1&t=h&vpsrc=0&ie=UTF8&z=17&iwloc=A<br /><br />And that's is! <br />Let me know how your trip was and enjoy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219011448591244425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41137308833515120.post-43049428178576342682013-03-14T16:54:47.147+01:002013-03-14T16:54:47.147+01:00I'm thinking about my own hike on the Eifelsti...I'm thinking about my own hike on the Eifelstieg. Do you have any suggestions on where to (or not to) camp? Thanks, and very helpful post!TeachingDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259451422314490189noreply@blogger.com
