The ruins of the medieval Löwenburg Castle are towering high above the City of Gerolstein. The Castle is open all year round and offers a wonderful view over Gerolstein, the dolomites massif and the kyll valley. Every two years the castle-actors stage an open-air theatre within the historical walls.

You find the chapel in the middle of the forest. The chapel was built as thanks!  

The Roman Marcus Victorius Polentius donated a temple dedicated to the goddess Caiva on the Munterley Plateau in 124 AD, presumably in gratitude for a victorious battle. Today the place of worship is popularly called "Juddekirchhof". The name comes from "Joddekirchhoff", i. e. "yard around the church (sanctuary) of the Jodd", where "Jodd" is synonymous with "godfather". The Celtic matrons had about the same duties as Catholic godmothers.

The meadows of the Eifel offer a plentiful selection for the bee hives of beekeeper Körsten in order to produce aromatic blossom honey.

8 stations along the 1.7 km long adventure circular path motivate young and old visitors to discover, learn, and play in the forest. Here, one learns interesting and noteworthy facts about the many connections between the forest and us humans. The highlight is the approximately 400 meter long forest ball track, located at the end of the circular path. A huge fun for children! The ball zooms downward in the middle of the forest.
