Great hard work made of basalt stones invites you to relax while using it.

For a long time the Arnulphus Chapel stood high up on the mountain, visible from afar in a barren landscape. It was a place of faith for pilgrims who prayed for the health of their cattle and at the same time parish church for the villages of Walsdorf, Zilsdorf, Loogh, Stroheich and Orendorf. It was consecrated to Saint Arnulphus, the patron saint of millers and brewers. At the beginning of the 19th century the chapel fell into disrepair. Soon all the stones were removed and the bones of the deceased in the cemetery in Walsdorf were reburied. There is now a deep hole at the site of the former church. The mountain has given way to a basalt mine, which nature is now taking back after the work has ended.

The only reminder of the church was a processional cross on the way up. But in 1988 a saint's house was built next to it, again dedicated to Arnulphus, as a place of refuge for prayers and as a reminder of the former parish church.

Kerpen Castle (Eifel)

Highlight • Castle

A very beautiful castle, very impressive and certainly the landmark of Kerpen. The castle cannot be visited as it is privately owned, but that is completely fine, you don't have to visit every castle. It's great to hike around the castle and it's also fun to just see the castle.

Dreimühlen Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Dreimühlen waterfall, also referred to as the Nohner waterfall, is an artificial waterfall near Ahütte that was created through the construction of a railway line by merging streams. The waterfall "grows" through limescale deposits. Today the railway line is a cycling and hiking trail.

Yesterday I was out and about in the Volcanic Eifel again with a great group😍
We started from the hiking car park near the Dreimühlen waterfall in Nohn. Our circular route, however, went in the opposite direction, so we saved this highlight for last😊

A worthwhile, great tour with lots of impressions. Also dog-friendly, as there are always drinking oases along the way...! I wouldn't go to the waterfall on Sundays or holidays, as it's completely crowded.

The route comes from experiencing nature actively.
However, I hiked in the opposite direction so that I could be alone at the waterfall in the morning.

On the way in the volcanic Eifel. From Nohner Mühle over the Hönselberg with its lean grassland and juniper bushes. We continue through dense forest, over meadows with a view to the crater on the Ahrensberg. It's impressive what volcanoes create and leave behind. A special place of peace and quiet. Our tour takes us further through the slightly autumnal …

This is unbelievably beautiful. The Volcanic Eifel. From Nohner Mühle, follow beautiful hiking trails up with a view of the plateau. Here, the weather is surprising, the ridge path, rare orchids, butterflies and junipers on poor grassland. The route continues through forest passages and lush meadows to Kerpen. A truly idyllic place. I saved the highlight for last. The Dreimühlen …

I've wanted to go to the Arensberg volcano crater for a long time and finally made it happen today.
Since the Dreimühlen waterfall is not far away in this beautiful corner, it was clear to me that I would wash these two goals in one go.
The result is about 19.5 km, 500 meters in altitude, in a really beautiful …

Today, on this beautiful tour, we finally visited two places in the Vulkaneifel that we particularly love.
The rather little-known Arensberg can only be entered through a secured tunnel. Inside, the unique atmosphere of a volcanic cone awaits you, you look at the roots of the trees growing all around, a display board explains the small geological step from volcanism …
