The Nürburgring Green Hell - racing, business, adventure, holiday

The history of Mechernich is connected inseparable with history of mining industry.

Discover the Steinrausch adventure forest: a 1.7 km long nature adventure trail with play and information stations, ideal for families and school classes.

Die 23 km lange Strecke führt durch typische Vulkanlandschaft, die insbesondere durch den historischen Abbau von Basaltlava, Tuffsteinen und Schaumlava geprägt wurde. Die Vulkanschleife ist eingebettet in die Vulkanlandschaft der Eifel und durch den frühen Basaltlavaabbau geprägt. So sieht man bei der Durchfahrt durch die Gemeinde viele Häuser, Skulpturen und Werkstücke, die aus dem heimischen Naturstein entstanden sind.

Start is at the church in Hofweiler. The small but charming village radiates a cozy atmosphere. There are great views right up to Zemmer and its districts. From the viewpoint "Kuhberg" the trail runs through the dense forest. Passing a thick oak tree, the route leads on natural paths. The highlight of the tour is the Altricher cave. The former stone quarry also served as protection in difficult times. Walk through the forest back to the village center. After a small climb, you will be rewarded with fantastic all-round views of the Eifel.
