The "Auf Hengscheid" nature reserve, also part of the "Gerolstein and Surroundings" landscape conservation area, encompasses valuable areas in the Kyll Valley above Gerolstein. Its name presumably derives from the terrain structure ("Hengscheid" – a part of the municipality or a field name). It typically protects dolomite rocks and karst landscapes, such as those found in the neighboring Gerolstein Dolomites. The special geological formations provide habitat for rare plants (e.g., orchids, nutrient-poor grassland flora) and animals such as bats, lizards, and specialized insects. The area was designated a landscape conservation area in 1983 and has since protected areas southwest of Gerolstein from encroachment. The boundaries are precisely defined on specialist maps, for example, along streams (Hundsbach, Oosbach), roads (L24/L29), and parcel boundaries – typical elements used to delineate such protected areas. Within this area, near-natural farming is permitted, while potentially harmful activities are restricted to protect flora and fauna. For you as a Komoot user, this means: Here you'll find quiet, natural trail sections through diverse Eifel forests with dolomite islands, karst craters, and panoramic views of the Kyll Valley. Walks or bike rides along these environmentally sensitive sections offer both geological insights and relaxation in an undisturbed landscape.

It didn't look like something you'd want to drink. Nothing was bubbling out anymore.

The volcano garden – in Dutch vulkaan tuin – is truly beautifully laid out and very informative.

The view is just as good a little further along the Maar bank.

According to the sign, the water from this well is not suitable for drinking.
