Mountain biking

The "Auf Hengscheid" nature reserve, also part of the "Gerolstein and Surroundings" landscape conservation area, encompasses valuable areas in the Kyll Valley above Gerolstein. Its name presumably derives from the terrain structure ("Hengscheid" – a part of the municipality or a field name). It typically protects dolomite rocks and karst landscapes, such as those found in the neighboring Gerolstein Dolomites. The special geological formations provide habitat for rare plants (e.g., orchids, nutrient-poor grassland flora) and animals such as bats, lizards, and specialized insects.
