- 4.4 (120)·Moderate·4.9 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hrPopular circular hiking trail in the Vulkaneifel Nature and Geopark, Rhineland-Palatinate. The Gerolsteiner Felsenpfad is one of the Vulkaneifel trails and forms the northern section of the Gerolsteiner-Dolomiten-Acht. As you hike along very natural forest paths lined with mighty rock formations, there are always great views over the Volcanic Eifel and Gerolstein. The Gerolstein Dolomites, as the rock formations of the Gerolstein limestone basin are collectively known, date back to a shallow...
- 4.6 (37)·Moderate·3.3 mi·Est. 1.5–2 hrA wonderful tour, also suitable for children. Parking is cheap (€ 1 per day) in the large car park near the train station. Once you have overcome the incline in the direction of Gerolstein, you can expect a great view of fields. The streets can no longer be heard. We recommend taking a break at the Juddekirchhof with a view of the fields. The Buchenlochhöhle cave is not very big, but it is nice to explore with a torch.

- 4.9 (4)·Moderate·26.1 mi·Est. 10.5–11.5 hrStage 2 of the Kylltal cycle path: "Sizzling springs and mysterious sagas". At the start of this sportier stage, which leads from Gerolstein to Bitburg-Erdorf, a refreshing sip from the Helenenquelle is a good choice.
