The Bellerberg volcano was created 200,000 years ago, a cinder cone typical of the Eastern Eifel. The "Ettringer Bellerberg" and the "Kottenheimer Büden" form the western and eastern flanks of the large Bellerberg volcano. From the summit of the "Ettringer Bellerberg" you have a fantastic view of the surrounding volcanic Eastern Eifel.

Less of an excursion destination than a spectacular site is the Eckfelder Maar in a side valley of the Lieser about 2 km north of Manderscheid.

Discover a small natural monument of a special kind on the outskirts of Bad Bertrich: the “Elfengrotte”, also called “Käsegrotte”. It originated a thousand years ago, when hot basalt currents flowed through the Üssbach valley and gave the valley a new shape. Located not far from the rushing Elbesbach waterfall, the Elfengrotte has a fairy-tale magic that you should explore.
