Birresborn Ice Caves (Birresborner Ice Caves)

Highlight • Cave

The ice caves were not created naturally, but rather through the mining of millstones. That is why they are also known as "millstone caves" and have been a listed building …

February 3, 2025,Wanderung 03.03.2025 Blick auf Vulkan Kalem – Eishöhlen Birresborn Runde von Birresborn 🙋‍♂️🥾🥶🌞😊

Yesterday evening I decided to take public transport to the beautiful Eifel. The start and finish was Birresborn. First I followed the route to Rome🤣. Over wide forestry paths and asphalt, it first went steadily uphill, then later downhill to the tranquil town of Mürlenbach with an impressive castle, which is privately owned. From here it was steeply uphill again …

August 5, 2023,RP - Birresborn Bertradaroute

Today there was a small pleasure hike with the family in the Vulkaneifel. The starting point was our pension in Birresborn. It was a very nice forest trail uphill to the ice caves. In summer these are open while in winter they are closed because of the bats. It's surprising to be able to climb into caves without an entrance …

June 21, 2023,Runde von Birresborn zur Bertrada Burg und weiter zu den Eishöhlen und Walderlebnispfad

The right tour for today's weather. Start at Birresborn station at 19.5 degrees. The place is quickly deserted and it goes out through the hallway and soon into the cool forest.
I'm on the Ginsterroute and Bertrada Route first. Always nice in the forest with birdsong and a light breeze. It goes steadily uphill and offers a great distant view …

May 1, 2025,Mürlenbach: Bertrada Tour

With such a beautiful day off and blue skies, we got up early. We filled up our water supplies at the spring near Birresborn and then parked at the train station in Mürlenbach. We headed up past the chapel to the top. The blossoms in the trees were ablaze. There was little oncoming traffic (of pedestrians) on our route, but …

Today I did a very nice walk, but there were a couple of paths that were a bit too asphalt for my taste. The forest nature trail is highly recommended. The kids will have a fun adventure there, too. 🌞🍀
