National Park Gate Erbeskopf with E-Bike Charging Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The national park gate at Erbeskopf is a must. Interesting, informative, attractively designed and it has a charging station for 8 e-bikes. If you have forgotten your charger, you can also borrow chargers for the most common batteries. TIP: If charging doesn't work, press the yellow/orange button on the fuse at the bottom of the house wall! If the bistro is closed, vending machines for coffee and cold drinks are available. In the immediate vicinity there is a high ropes course, the summer toboggan run, the bike trail and a sensory path.
