The new Gerolsteiner Erlebniswelt invites visitors on an interactive journey through the history, creation and bottling of Gerolsteiner mineral water - explained in an exciting way for children and adults. In around 90 minutes, interactive stations and the characters G-Rex, Mina and Sparky show visitors why the water is so rich in minerals and how the well-known Gerolsteiner mineral water is made from rainwater.

With over 12,000 exhibits on 1,300 square meters, the Prüm Museum is one of the largest museums in the Eifel.

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!

As the name suggests, this Eifel view is located above the Rur in the Effelsley area at an altitude of 275 meters above sea level.

On the 562 m high Schwarzenberg, hidden in the forest, there is a chapel dedicated to the Sorrowful Mother of God. The Schwarzenberg Chapel was built in 1719. The altar with the Pietà in the middle section is framed by the saints Aloysius (right) and Augustine.
