Charcoal Burners’ Hut Village Irrel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Actually, this is an accommodation for young people during the holidays. But it is used less and less in the context of mechanization and modernization. It's a shame, actually.

April 28, 2026, Maria Theresienstein

The name dates back to Maria Theresa (1717–1780), Archduchess of Austria and ruler of the Austrian Netherlands, which included the area around Bollendorf in the 18th century. Today, the Maria-Theresien-Stein primarily serves as a waypoint within the ‘Grüne Hölle’ (Green Hell) listening tour. It is integrated into the route guidance and is presented as a stop with scenic and historical significance during the tour.

Text according to the information panel: The large, sculpted stone was erected during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, around the 18th century. It marked the border between the lordships of Echternach and Vianden, thus forming the border region between the Duchy of Luxembourg and the Electorate of Trier. The east side of the stone displays the coat of arms of Echternach Abbey: Saint Willibrord with his bishop's staff. The west side, however, bears the coat of arms of the County of Vianden with a rampant lion. On the Echternach side, one can also see the letters A.O. (Abbatia Ordinis – Abbey Order) and E.E. (Echternachensis Ecclesiae – Church of Echternach). On the Vianden side, the letters C.V. (Comitatus Vianden – County of Vianden) can be read. The stone was restored and re-erected in the 1970s. Originally, it stood slightly further south, directly on the historical border. Today it is located on the hiking trail between Bollendorf and Wallendorf.

A small viewing platform offers a view of Bollendorf. Several benches invite you to rest.

Sturdy shelter including a map of the surroundings at the B1 route. As this is also a free parking space this is a great, less crowded alternative to park at for the B1 trail, no matter what direction.

Bing ChatGPT quotes as follows: https://www.lagerfeuer-jagd.de/koehlerhuetten-dorf The charcoal hut village is located in a clearing in the middle of the forest, just 2 km from the small town of Irrel, in the South Eifel Nature Park. There are a total of seven charcoal burners' huts, each with seven beds. Another charcoal burner's hut houses the kitchen, which has a large covered extension and protects against bad weather1. The outdoor area has a large fire pit, a table tennis table and lawns for various activities1. In the immediate vicinity are the Irrel waterfalls, the Prüm, the Teufelsschlucht and the dinosaur park. All can be reached on foot through the forest It is questionable whether this provider is still operating the charcoal burners' huts as of 2024. But there is a tourist information office in Irrel that can definitely provide information.
