    The castle ruin Gerolstein is located on a mountain directly above the old town of Gerolstein and there are only remnants of the walls available, but are currently being restored. The castle dates back to the 12th century and was only destroyed and demolished between the 17th and 19th centuries.

      The Löwenburg, first mentioned in 1115, is located on a 440 meter high rock hill above the valley of the Kyll and offers a great view of Gerolstein and the Gerolstein Dolomites.

        The ruin offers a fantastic view over Gerolstein and the surrounding mountains of the Eifel.
