Eifel Blick - Steffeln

Steffeln

The Eifel has numerous vantage points with far-reaching views. From the Eifel viewpoint on the Steffelberg, you have an impressive view to the north-east over the Kyll valley and the Hillesheim limestone basin, as far as the Ahreifel and the Volcanic Eifel. The Steffelberg volcano was formed more than 100,000 years ago. Let your gaze wander over the distance and savour the moment and the view. The panorama boards on site explain which mountains, lakes, castles and villages lie in your view.

Dietzenley Vulkan & Keltenburg

About 2500 years ago there was a Celtic urbanisation with pastures on the Dietzenley. The Celtic urbanisation was protected by ring walls of up to 9 meters high and 4 meters wide against attacks. During the volcanic activity around 600.000 years ago, the area around the Dietzenley was covered with volcanic rocks. These rocks are used by the Celtics to build the ring walls.

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.

Weinberg

The vineyard consists of limestone and dolomite stone layers of the Middle Devonian period. They originated from calcareous marine deposits in the area of a reef belt. The rocks of this layer sequence consist of dickbankingen reef limestone, which are rich in fossils.
