The 699 meter high Ernstberg is the highest elevation in the Eifel after the Hohe Acht. Since the summit is covered in forest, you unfortunately don't have a clear view of the surrounding landscape of the Volcanic Eifel from up here. About 500 meters away and about 60 meters lower is the Eifel-Blick Ernstberg, which offers us a wonderful panorama in clear weather.

The Ernstberg is an old Pleistocene stratovolcano with a distinctive ring-shaped arrangement of welding slag and basalt deposits. Its summit consists of welding slag, which builds up a crater wall that is open to the east. This is where the basalt masses flowed out, forming a semicircle on the eastern slope of the mountain; from the Middle Ages until around 1930, millstones were quarried at the foot of the mountain.

After the climb to the summit of the Ernstberg, the benches offer a well-deserved breather.

The steep climb to the castle is quite difficult. A real calf biter! But once at the top you forget it all. Beautiful ruin and the cave is more than worth it.

"With an area of approx. 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolsteiner Dolomites has been a nature reserve since 1990. + occurring animal species: bat + occurring plant species: juniper, orchids, character plants calcareous grassland, grove rush-beech forest, woodruff-beech forest, orchid-limestone-beech forest 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 formed, which rise steeply above the Kylltal north of the center of Gerolstein. The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" characterize the cityscape from afar and form the landmark of Gerolstein. The most famous summit of the Gerolsteiner Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters - and offers a breathtaking view over Gerolstein, the Kylltal and far into the Vulkaneifel. Stone Age people, who settled here 30,000 years ago, obviously enjoyed this view, as evidenced by stone tools and bones found at the nearby Buchenloch Cave. Visiting the Gerolsteiner Dolomites can be perfectly combined with hiking the Felsenpfad - the northern part of the "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht". The almost eight-kilometer round tour offers many magical places and geological traces." https://www.eifel.info/a-gerolsteiner-dolomites

Very well preserved ruin. Exploring them with children is a very special experience. Especially nice in late spring when the trees all around are fresh green.

The Nerother Kopf is an extinct volcano of recent date. It was formed about 15,000 years ago when the earth broke up here and glowing magma welled up from the depths of the earth. At that time, a fracture zone formed in the earth rock, which formed the origin of the volcanic chain "West Eifel". https://www.neroth.de/tourismus/nerother-kopf

The Millstone Cave is located at the summit of the Neroth Head, a wooded hill of volcanic origin east of Neroth. The entrance is just below the Freudenkoppe castle ruins at an altitude of about 640 m and can be reached via a hiking trail. The cave is 18 meters deep and its vault up to 10 meters high. It is walkable, but unlit (torch required). Wikipedia

Millstones were mined in the 18 meter deep cave at the top of the Nerother Kopf until the 18th century. The lava stone was not only mined for the production of millstones, but was also used to build the immediately adjacent Freudenkoppe Castle.

The observation tower on the Dietzenley offers an impressive view of the landscape of the Vulkaneifel. About 2500 years ago there was a Celtic housing estate on the Dietzenley with pasture areas, which were protected against attacks by ramparts up to 9 m high and 4 m wide.

Really mystical place that one would not have expected on the wooded summit of the Ernstberg. We were all alone on the 699.80 meters.

The Munterley rises steeply above the city of fountains. The rock is extremely rugged and was once a refuge for Stone Age people. Celts and Romans inspired this place to build temples and sanctuaries. The dolomite rocks, which once lay in the sea ago and formed a coral reef, are Gerolstein's landmark. The traces of the previous generation can still be seen today: hewn stone tools were found in the beech hole cave. Source: https://www.eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/munterley_gerolstein.html
