The Arensberg, also called Arnulphusberg, is a 561.3 m above sea level mountain in the Vulkaneifel. The former volcano is located near Zilsdorf in the Vulkaneifel district of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The two proven eruption phases of the tertiary stratovolcano took place around 24 to 32 million years ago. In modern times, the mountain was used as a quarry, and during mining, finds from Roman and medieval times were discovered. It was possible to enter the interior of the quarry through a short tunnel, which lies in the former crater of the volcano.
ATTENTION: Since the tunnel collapsed in 2018, the passage of the old quarry has been closed. It should be open again by May, but as of today - May 22, 2019 - nothing has been repaired.

A wonderful place. After passing through the tunnel, you experience a unique silence inside the mountain. The maze invites you to reflect.
Information about the geology can be found on an information board.

Access is free again, but please keep to the left and use the supported passage. A wonderful place. After passing through the tunnel, you experience a very unique silence inside the mountain. The maze invites you to reflect.
