Feuerberge der Eifel - „Der Rockeskyller Kopf“

Aug 9, 2025

Rockeskyll

Workshop for families with children "in the volcano"

In addition to an interactive introduction to volcanology and rock science for budding volcanologists, this workshop will focus on individual accessible volcanoes and what they offer and what can be seen in them.

Here and in the following, the help and co-operation of the children is of decisive importance. We look for interesting stones and minerals, learn about their differences in colour, hardness and other properties and then know, for example, whether they are of volcanic origin. No question should remain unanswered.

This workshop is particularly suitable for families with children of school age and older. The parents accompany the children on their explorations in what is new and unfamiliar terrain for them. Sturdy shoes and (weather) appropriate clothing are recommended. Photographic equipment, a magnifying glass, a container for rock samples (possibly a geologist's hammer, safety goggles, protective gloves only for Emmelberg, Rockeskyller Kopf and Hahn) are useful.

Duration: approx. 2 hours

Durch die Wacholderheiden zum Hippelsteinchen in Gönnersdorf
Aug 27, 2025

The limestone ridges in the area of the Eifel limestone hollows are known as the Tuscany of the Eifel. The appearance of the landscape with its impressive juniper heaths is very close to the Italian model. Centuries of extensive grazing have created valuable habitats. With a little luck, you can discover orchids and gentians here, or observe colourful butterflies, lizards and slow worms. The highlight of the round tour is the "Hippelsteinchen", a dolomite rock around which numerous legends revolve. Price: € 5.00 per person, € 8.00 per couple, free for children under 10. Meeting point: 54584 Gönnersdorf, Zum Hirdenberg (drive straight on from the B 421 to the car park). Information/registration required: Andreas Wisniewski, Tel: 06597 5211, E-Mail: andreaswisniewski@hotmail.com
