Heiligenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

These beautiful rock formations directly above Gerolstein are not as spectacular and well-known as the dolomite rocks on the other side of the Kylltal. But they are definitely worth seeing.

Stage 10, which runs towards Daun, begins near Gerolstein train station.
Due to a longer travel time, I couldn't complete the entire stage because I still had to return to Neuss. It's well known that the later it gets, the less …
