Geschichtliche Reise um den Rockeskyller Kopf - Die „Mutter“ aller Eifelvulkane

Mar 12, 2026 - Mar 21, 2026

Rockeskyll

In the heart of the volcanic Eifel lies Germany's most complete volcano, the "Rockeskyller Kopf".
As it is a spectacular outcrop, it is rightly called the "mother" of all Eifel volcanoes. It shows all stages of its development from the initial explosive maar stage to strombolian eruptions and lava-spewing fireworks. Information and stories about the shipbuilding industry, the origins of basalt and volcanic sand mining round off the programme.

Mein Freund der Baum - über die Wacholderheide Seiderath zu meinem Lieblingsbaum
May 14, 2026

It could tell a lot, the Liberation Beech or Napoleon's Beech on the "Alten Voss" near Berlingen.                                                                                 Clinging to the old volcano, it has defied wind and weather for centuries and is reluctant to reveal its secrets and experiences. The way to it leads through a juniper heather near Pelm and depending on the season there is also a flora worth seeing and worth protecting. Price: adults € 8.00, children up to 16 years free, groups € 60.00, information / registration (required): Johannes Munkler, email: J.Munkler@t-online.de, tel: 06591 3888, mobile: 0171 6443572, hiking distance 8 km at 220 meters altitude, walking time approx. 3 hours.
