View of Gerolstein from the Munterley

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most beautiful highlights on a hike through the Gerolstein Dolomites. Be sure to take a break and enjoy the fantastic view over Gerolstein and the beautiful Kylltal. In bad weather, the refuge on the Munterley Plateau offers suitable shelter.

Wishing Cross in the Forest (Muntere Ley)

Highlight • Monument

a legend tells
if you're missing something
then hurry up
to the lively Ley.

Bring me a stone
whether big or small
speak into it your desire
and carry him here.

Put him down in silence
- and then go again.
Your wish is granted
when luck befalls you. 🧚‍♀️

Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

A hike through the Gerolsteiner Dolomites is probably one of the most beautiful tours that you can undertake in the Eifel. Absolutely worthwhile, also for children.

Buchenloch Cave

Highlight • Cave

Over a small staircase to reach the then quite large cave. You can get in a good deal and you are immediately fascinated. In any case worth a flashlight, of course, it is also without

Gerolstein Dolomites

Highlight • Natural Monument

With an area of approx. 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolsteiner Dolomites has been a nature reserve since 1990.
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 created.
