Greimerath
Open today
The parish church of St. George from 1761 is already the third church building on the same site. The baroque interior has been preserved in its original form and is very rare to find in this form. The high altar is decorated with the statue of St. George.
Experience "The Eifel from below" all year round, every day! The family-friendly guided tours are especially designed for children, for whom a visit to the "underground world" is a very special experience! Guided tours of the former lead ore mine are offered three times a day for individual visitors.
Visit the Klausenhöhle ( cave) on the Premium hiking trail ``Römerpfad`` and let the past come back to life. According to legends, a hermit lived in the cave in the 18th century.
Especially if you visit the GesundLand Vulkaneifel in summer, a detour to the Schalkenmehren Maar is a must. Located directly at the village of the same name and opposite the Weinfelder Maar, the Schalkenmehrener Maar is one of the three Dauner Maars and offers a wonderful backdrop for an extended walk or an extensive hike. If you look closely, you can see that the Schalkenmehren Maar was once a double maar, formed by volcanic activity around 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. But the tuffs of the western maar filled up the eastern maar funnel, so that nothing can be seen of the second maar today, except for the fen vegetation that has spread in this area. Take a little discovery tour and observe numerous animal and plant species along the way!
