Zilsdorf

That was hard work with hard stones - On the way to work with great-grandad Johann, we explore the Arensberg and its surroundings together. Among other things, we look at how the mystical tunnel was created and together we go in search of clues as to how mining took place here. A walk through the volcano from a new perspective, with exciting stories and games for young and old.

Hippelsteinchen Gönnersdorf, © Touristik GmbH Gerolsteiner Land, Ute Klinkhammer

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).

Mein Freund der Baum - über die Wacholderheide Seiderath zu meinem Lieblingsbaum
May 14, 2025

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.
