Attractions and Places To See around Oberehe-Stroheich - Top 20

The so-called Dreimühlen waterfall is also known as the Nohn waterfall. The name Nohn waterfall comes from the waterfall's proximity to the town of Nohn. The houses on the outskirts of Nohn are only a few hundred meters above the waterfall. Most people talk about the Dreimühlen waterfall, however. The name Dreimühlen comes from a former castle called Dreimühlen. Today, however, only the remains of the walls are said to remain. We looked for the former castle on our trip, but couldn't find anything of it. The waterfall in the Eifel is located between the towns of Üxheim, Kerpen and Nohn. Although the other large towns in the Eifel are not located here, many visitors come here. Some of them travel especially to visit the waterfall. The Dreimühlen waterfall is one of the most visited Eifel attractions. Almost every holidaymaker in the area comes to the waterfall at least once during their Eifel vacation. In addition, many day tourists travel from outside, making it the most visited waterfall in the Eifel. They all want to see the unique natural wonder.

https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerolsteiner Dolomiten The tour was really beautiful... It won't be the last time I'm there ❤️

The great rocks rise impressively in front of us. Just great to experience something like this here. The name Gerolsteiner Dolomites speaks for itself.

The trail leads to the 'Buchenloch Cave' which lies at the far edge of the Munterley Plateau. This was created 1.8 million years ago from a millimeter-wide crack in the rock massif and was used by people in the Neolithic Age 300,000 years ago.

Almost 400 million years ago, where the Gerolsteiner Dolomites rise today, there was a subtropical shallow sea with a huge reef that is one of the oldest reefs on earth. This particularly beautiful and attractive hiking trail with scenic and geological features takes the hiker into an exciting past of our planet with beautiful views from Munterley and Hustley into the Kylltal.

"With an area of around 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolstein Dolomites has been designated a nature reserve since 1990. + animal species found: bat + plant species found: juniper, orchids, characteristic plants, calcareous grassland, woodrush beech forest, woodruff beech forest, orchid calcareous beech forest Around 380 million years ago, there was a warm, subtropical shallow sea here, in which mighty reefs of stromatoporoids - relatives of sponges - and corals formed. After the dolomitization, sinking and folding of the rocks, the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. This created today's Gerolstein Dolomites, which rise steeply above the Kyll valley north of the center of Gerolstein. The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" characterize the cityscape even from afar and form the landmark Gerolsteins. The most famous peak of the Gerolstein Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters - and offers a breathtaking view over Gerolstein, the Kyll valley and far into the Volcanic Eifel. This view was obviously also enjoyed by Stone Age people who settled here 30,000 years ago, as evidenced by stone tools and bones found in the nearby Buchenloch cave. Visit to the Gerolstein Dolomites can be perfectly combined with hiking the rock path - the northern part of the "Gerolstein Dolomites Eight". The almost eight-kilometer-long circular tour offers many magical places and geological traces." https://www.eifel.info/a-gerolsteiner-dolomiten
