In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

The Dreesbach Hut is a small, idyllically situated refuge near Gerolstein, on the edge of the forest south of the village of Müllenborn. It is located not far from the Dreesbach stream – a small stream typical of the Eifel region – and serves as a rest stop for hikers and cyclists on numerous local trails. The hut itself is simple, with benches and a covered shelter, nestled in tranquil nature. In the immediate vicinity are forest paths, small springs, and the starting point for various circular hikes, including those towards Lissingen and the Blutkreuz (Blood Cross). For Komoot users, the Dreesbach Hut offers a lovely opportunity to take a quiet break or plan a family-friendly short hike as an intermediate destination.

The building, the "Old Forge", now serves as a village community center and event location. But as the name suggests, the 19th century building was once used to practice a very old craft that was an essential part of any village at the time. As the craft lost more and more importance in the 20th century, the craft was abandoned and the old building became vacant. In the 1980s, the property was purchased by the town of Hillesheim and extensively renovated in 1981. Since then, it has served as the center of the village for the residents of Bolsdorf.

Currently (2025) there is a large sign at the spring saying that the water is not drinkable. It's a shame, we were able to taste it on our last visit...
