Katzensteine Sandstone Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The cat stones are very impressive. People have already camped here in the Stone Age, the Romans used the stones as a quarry and you can also discover the stones for yourself.

The Veybach, sometimes spelled Feybach, flows merrily past here, originating in Kallmuth. Its river life, just under 23 kilometers long, ends in the Erft floodplains near Euskirchen, where it flows into the Erft.

A beautiful, easy-to-walk tour with some truly stunning sections. The highlight, of course, is the Katzensteine!

May 26, 2024,Katzensteine – Burg Satzvey Runde von Antweiler

From Satzvey train station past the golf course, along narrow forest paths and past fields to Antweiler. We walked for a long time on the Roman canal hiking trail. From here we continued to Lessenich to the Katzensteine. Why are these enormous rock formations called Katzensteine? The naming of the red sandstone rocks remains a mystery. Some people recognize cats …

We enjoyed our hike today in glorious weather. The route is very easy, mostly along large forest or gravel paths.

Therefore, the sections with smaller trails were our highlights. Some were beautifully lined with wood anemones.

The Katzensteine rocks showed off their full range of colors in the light. They are made of red sandstone.

July 6, 2022,Voreifel - Von Satzvey zu den Katzensteinen 🥾🌤

What might our world have looked like 220 million years ago? Somehow you automatically ask yourself the question when you see the imposing up to 15 meter high sandstone rocks in the Veybachtal between Mechernich and Satzvey. The striking rock formation originally comes from a mighty river deposit that covered the entire Eifel about 220 million years ago. Erosive forces …

Many thanks to Selma and RobertO for the inspiration 🤩. It was a fantastic tour! Much is said about the geological origin of these many rock formations. After I came across strange connections, I am open to alternative explanation models that could apply to the castle and Katzensteine.
It is worth watching the following documentary in this regard. A game …

April 18, 2022,Satzvey -Billiger Wald - Antweiler Senke - Römerkanal / Kompasstour

At Easter we got a hiking guide from Kompass with tours in North Rhine-Westphalia from our daughter. So today we decided to do a tour in the North Eifel near Satzvey. First we moved the starting point from Satzvey to Katzenstein. Arrived at the small free and full parking lot, there was a direct notice that the first section via …
