Kylltal-Radweg Etappe 1: Losheimergraben - Gerolstein

Stage 1 of the Kylltal cycle path: "Volcanoes, iron and adventure trails". This stage goes from Losheimergraben to the mineral water town of Gerolstein. After a few kilometers, you can visit the iron museum in Jünkerath, which illustrates the eventful history of the Eifel iron industry. Shortly afterwards you have the opportunity in Birgel to marvel at the old mill technology in the historic watermill. In Hillesheim, a longer stopover is then worthwhile, because the town center has been lovingly restored. The walkable city wall, the old market square or the nine fountains are worth seeing. Around Hillesheim, numerous adventure loops lead to geologically attractive destinations such as the accessible volcanic vent on the Arensberg. Visible from afar, shortly before Gerolstein, golden eagles or falcons circle over the castle ruins during free flight demonstrations in the eagle and wolf park Kasselburg. Finally, the Gerolsteiner Dolomite massif, remains of a former coral reef, appears and announces the end of this stage. Highlights: - Stadtkyll climatic health resort - historic Birgel mill area with freshly made products - Eagle and Wolf Park Kasselburg,
