The Lieserpfad and the Eifelsteig share a section of their respective trails between Daun and south of Manderscheid. I walked the section from Daun to Wittlich in 2025. The shelters along that stretch are some of the best I have ever encountered on German long-distance trails, and the section through the forest around Manderschied is one of my favourite hikes in Germany.

I recommend doing the detour around the Niederburg Mandershied that I have included in the Lieserpfad GPX. You could consider joining the Eifelsteig at Daun and crossing over the volcano cones; the trail will rejoin the Lieserpfad before Manderschied.
