Top 13 Huts and Cabins around Mürlenbach

The Dreesbach Hut is a small, idyllically situated refuge near Gerolstein, on the edge of the forest south of the village of Müllenborn. It is located not far from the Dreesbach stream – a small stream typical of the Eifel region – and serves as a rest stop for hikers and cyclists on numerous local trails. The hut itself is simple, with benches and a covered shelter, nestled in tranquil nature. In the immediate vicinity are forest paths, small springs, and the starting point for various circular hikes, including those towards Lissingen and the Blutkreuz (Blood Cross). For Komoot users, the Dreesbach Hut offers a lovely opportunity to take a quiet break or plan a family-friendly short hike as an intermediate destination.

The Junfernley is easy to find. From Schönecken, turn onto the main path at the car park to Schönecker Schweiz, towards Rommersheim. After about 1 km, you reach the Jungfernley, which is on the right in the "Reinsbusch", and the Schalkenbach on the left. The Jungfernley is a legendary, mighty dolomite formation. According to legend, the stone is the remains of a maiden who was turned to stone at this point due to malice. Other rumors persist that in earlier times, midwives pulled newborn children out of a crack in the rock at the Jungfernley. Source: https://www.schoenecken.com/HTML/jungfernley.htm

"The current barbecue hut was built in 1986 by members of the sports club, mainly with their own efforts. It is located on a community property on the edge of the forest near the sports field. In 1995 a toilet facility was added. This measure was also carried out exclusively by the members of the association themselves. In 2018, a spacious outdoor terrace with gabion benches was created by the club members themselves. The barbecue hut is very popular with the villagers - before Corona - and is used a lot for private celebrations and club parties." https://weidenbach-eifel.de/gemeinde/die-grillhuette/

"With an area of approx. 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolsteiner Dolomites has been a nature reserve since 1990. + occurring animal species: bat + occurring plant species: juniper, orchids, character plants calcareous grassland, grove rush-beech forest, woodruff-beech forest, orchid-limestone-beech forest Around 380 million years ago there was a warm, subtropical shallow sea here, in which mighty reefs of stromatopores - relatives of sponges - and corals formed. After the dolomitization, sinking and folding of the rocks, the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. Today's Gerolsteiner Dolomites were formed, which rise steeply above the Kylltal north of the center of Gerolstein. The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" characterize the cityscape from afar and form the landmark of Gerolstein. The most famous summit of the Gerolsteiner Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters - and offers a breathtaking view over Gerolstein, the Kylltal and far into the Vulkaneifel. Stone Age people, who settled here 30,000 years ago, obviously enjoyed this view, as evidenced by stone tools and bones found at the nearby Buchenloch Cave. Visiting the Gerolsteiner Dolomites can be perfectly combined with hiking the Felsenpfad - the northern part of the "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht". The almost eight-kilometer round tour offers many magical places and geological traces." https://www.eifel.info/a-gerolsteiner-dolomites

A very enchanted place in the middle of the forest

The Bleckhausener Mühle is a restaurant with overnight accommodation. More rustic is never possible. Here you will be spoiled with homemade cake.

The Munterley rises steeply above the city of fountains. The rock is extremely rugged and was once a refuge for Stone Age people. Celts and Romans inspired this place to build temples and sanctuaries. The dolomite rocks, which once lay in the sea ago and formed a coral reef, are Gerolstein's landmark. The traces of the previous generation can still be seen today: hewn stone tools were found in the beech hole cave. Source: https://www.eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/munterley_gerolstein.html
