The nature center is currently still closed due to the 2021 flood. The tourist information is currently about 300 meters away on foot in the Alte Schmiede/House of Fossils, Bahnhofstr. 50. The reopening is planned for spring 2023. Then you can visit exhibitions on nature and history here again. The nature center is also the organizer and starting point for numerous events and guided tours.

Historic Lime Kilns, Nettersheim

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kalkbrennöfen and the associated Werkhäuser are a testimony to the Eifel industrial history of the 19th century. Once here, limestone from the quarry located above was burned and ground. Today, there is a historic grain mill in the factories, originally powered by water. On the ground floor there is a tavern with outdoor catering. It is open on Sundays and public holidays (April to October: 11-18 clock, November to March 11-16 clock).

Breakfast Beech

Highlight • Natural Monument

There has also been a small refuge here for some time. The Eifel loop is named after the “Breakfast Beech”. There you can also find the explanation of the name: "The breakfast beech was a mighty group of beech trees that defied Hurricane Wiebke in 1990. The hurricane destroyed a large part of the surrounding forest areas. By 1993, a total of 23 hectares of mixed forest, consisting of copper beeches, Sessile oaks, ash trees, red alders, hornbeams and Douglas firs were reforested. Unfortunately, the group of beech trees had to be felled in 2017 for safety reasons. As a replacement, a young copper beech tree was planted at this point."
