July 13, 2025,Keltenpfad bei Gerolstein

A tour that could be split into sections. The first half is mostly wide paths and has almost no highlights, while the second half has a bit more to offer, such as Diezenley and other great views. If you're up for it, you can also visit the castle ruins, but we skipped those today...

September 19, 2021,8 Tag 19.09.2021 Büschkapelle – Aussichtspunkt Dietzenley Runde von Gerolstein

Today the round Büschkapelle - lookout point Dietzenley made around Gerolstein. At the beginning you have to be very careful so that you catch the right ascent. It is a bit back through the shopping arcade 🙈🙈 we walked by twice. I could have saved myself the visit to Löwenburg, because they were only fragments of ruins. Why do some …

July 14, 2026,Keine Kelten gesehen auf dem Keltenpfad 🤷‍♀️😁

The only shock: 3 jet fighters over my head as I stood on the tower. Fascinating but unbearable.
Afterwards came the forest roller coaster and we became real playful children and the shock was overcome.
The chapel was very special!!!
Stop at Maria Mamma....super delicious!

May 20, 2023,Tour "Felsenweg" bei Gerolstein

Small and very comfortable round at Gerolstein. There was a flea market on the square in front of the town hall, so I grabbed two super cute ceramic cups, then we went up to the castle. Beautiful views of the Auberg and the Munterley. Continue uphill.
The highest point was the Dietzenlay where we took a break and had great …

April 26, 2025,Gerolsteiner Keltenpfad in der Vulkaneifel 🌋

Today was our last hike of our week-long vacation in the Volcanic Eifel! 🥾🌋 The Gerolstein Celtic Trail led us to Dietzenley, where 2,500 years ago, Celts built a refuge on the 618-meter-high volcano. 🛡️ The ancient basalt ramparts are still visible today and make the tour an exciting journey into the past. 🌿✨ A fitting end to a fantastic …
