Büschkapelle & Grafenkreuz

Gerolstein

You find the chapel in the middle of the forest. The chapel was built as thanks!

The chapel fell into disrepair during the wars of previous centuries and due to the flight of the Count's family to Bohemia. In 1852/53 the Daubach family from Gerolstein establish the much-visited and popular Büschkapelle.

Schloss Oberehe

The castle complex was built in 1696-98 as a fortified noble estate. Even though the building cannot be entered (private property), it is worth a look through the archway.

Growing waterfall Dreimühlen

The Dreimühlen waterfall is probably the most interesting waterfall in the Eifel. It was formed from limestone deposits of three spring tributaries of the Ahbach. Due to the constant deposition, the sinter bank is constantly "growing", which is where the name "growing waterfall" comes from.

Fischbach-Drees bei Birresborn

The magnesium-calcium mineralisation here comes from sandstone and claystone as well as overlying volcanic rock. The high content of carbonic acid originates from the Eifel volcanism and gives the water the name ‘Säuerling’ (acidulous). A total of five springs are known in Birresborn, several of which were of great economic importance. Today, drinking water can be taken from the Lindenquelle and the Fischbach-Drees.

Vulkan Goldberg

The quaternary volcano Goldberg, northeast of the municipality Ormont, is the northwesternmost foothill of the quaternary volcanic field in the Westeifel. The volcano is 649.1 meters above normal zero. The Goldberg was formed about 10 to 11,000 years ago in two eruptions. First, a large ash cone was formed. The second eruption phase began after a short time, which at first exploded the top of the old cinder cone with a strong explosion. Then again a cinder cone was built up on the leftovers and the activity ceased after a certain time.
