Ettringer Bellerberg - Vulkanparkstation
Ettringen
Open today
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.
The narrow streets of Monreal, its quaint Holy Trinity Church, the massive Nepomuk Bridge over the clear flowing Elzbach and the ruins of Löwenburg and Philippsburg castles high above the town are a perfect destination for an excursion in the eastern Eifel. The red and white half-timbered houses nestle closely together in the former cloth-making town. Not only visually is Monreal an excursion destination that relaxes the soul. Café Plüsch with its cosy interior or the former signal box at the gates of the town are perfect addresses for foodies. The highlight for lovers of handicrafts is the pottery in the old school. Hikers get their money's worth on the Monrealer Ritterschlag hiking trail and are rewarded for the sometimes steep passages with wonderful views.
The chapel in the center of the community of Ditscheid is dedicated to St. Apollonia - the patron saint of dental patients. The first saint's house was built on this site in 1663, a small chapel followed in 1756, and today's chapel was built in 1849. Various renovation measures took place in the years 1991 to 2007/08.
