Since 1987, the Natural History Museum has been located in the old town hall (built in 1710) of the fountain town Gerolstein and contains selected exhibits from times long gone by. Under the motto "Time travel on the Eifelsteig", the interesting exhibition shows and explains, among other things, the enormous volcanic forces that led to the creation of today's breathtaking landscape around the premium hiking trail millions of years ago. Theme tours, especially for children, provide a fascinating insight into the fiery history of the volcano Eifel, duration approx. 1 hour, price 30,00 €/group excl. Admission per participant. Different types of rock, fossils, the replica of the beech hole cave, the interactive forest section and the fascinatingly colourful collection of butterflies in the attic of the baroque building guarantee an interesting variety every step of the way.

Entrance fees: adults 3,00 €, children & students 1,00 €, pensioners 2,00 €, groups 2,00 €/person

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.
