The Buchenlochhöhle is located in the nature reserve of the Gerolstein Dolomites. The cave was washed out of the rock millions of years ago by the dissolving power of groundwater and is open all year round.

The Guardian Angel Chapel at Hauptstraße 8 in Herresbach was built in 1843 from local quarry stones called "Grauwacke" and is now a protected cultural monument. It is under the patronage of the holy guardian angels and the apostle Matthias.
The ruins of the medieval Löwenburg Castle are towering high above the City of Gerolstein. The Castle is open all year round and offers a wonderful view over Gerolstein, the dolomites massif and the kyll valley. Every two years the castle-actors stage an open-air theatre within the historical walls.
The "Sauren Buhr" near Volkesfeld is a state-approved mineral spring opened in 1967. Enjoy the healing effect of the tingly-cool "treasure" from the volcanic depths of the Eastern Eifel to the full!
