Aueler Drees - Steffeln

Steffeln

The Aueler Drees is a natural mineral spring with CO2-containing water with a very high content of iron and manganese. A great opportunity to experience the fresh water of a mineral spring in the wild.

"Drees" is derived from the Celtic "draisen", which means "to flow". The Dreese is one of the last mineral springs in Germany.
Below the Eichholzmaares you will find the mineral spring in the Bachtal area. The Aueler Drees can be reached in a few minutes on foot via the volcanic path from the Eichholzmaar. The mineral springs extract CO2-containing water, which has a high content of iron and manganese. This makes the reddish discoloration visible at the spring basin.

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.
