Weekend hiking trip to Blankenheim!

Hey! It’s August! Your colleagues might be in vacation but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be enjoying your summer! This time, I’m proposing a hiking trip to Blankenheim, a really nice area with a cool youth hostel!

So, the plan is as follows: we’re gonna see each other in front of Düsseldorf Hbf at 10:15 on Saturday (Aug. 3). Then

1. Departure: Düsseldorf Hbf platform 10 at 10:38 (RE 1)
2. Arrival: Köln Hbf platform 9 D-G at 11:11
3. Departure: Köln Hbf platform 5 at 11:21 (RE 22)
4. Arrival: Urft platform 1 at 12:21

Then we start hiking. Easy, isn’t it? If you come from a different city, feel free to join us wherever you want on the way! It’s not within the VRR region so we’ll probably buy a group ticket together (stay tuned)!

At the end of the day, we should arrive at the youth hostel of Blankenheim. I already booked a few rooms in total of 20 people, although I guess they’re gonna be flexible if we should be one or two more or less. It costs 25€ per person! You can read more about our last stay at the youth hostel on this page!

The next day we’ll hike to Schmidtheim or Blankenheim(Wald) and take a train back to Düsseldorf!
