    With an area of approx. 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolsteiner Dolomites has been a nature reserve since 1990.
    Around 380 million years ago there was a warm, subtropical shallow sea here, in which mighty reefs of stromatopores - relatives of sponges - and corals formed. After the dolomitization, sinking and folding of the rocks, the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. Today's Gerolsteiner Dolomites were created.

      Around 380 million years ago there was a warm, subtropical flat sea in which mighty reefs from stromatopores - relatives of the sponges - and corals formed. After dolomitisation, sinking and folding of rocks the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. The today's Gerolsteiner Dolomites raise.

      The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" dominate the skyline from Gerolstein. The most famous peak in the Gerolstein Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters.

        The Gerolsteiner cave trail is highly recommended.
        In addition to the imposing Dolomites, you can admire the beech wood cave and ice caves.
