History. Home. Craftsmanship.
Romantic castles, charming village churches, ancient crafts, art-historical treasures, museums, thermal baths, and volcanic springs—the Vulkaneifel is full of inspiring places and sights waiting to be discovered. Whether it’s a family vacation, a getaway for two, a wellness trip, or a group tour, the region has plenty of attractive destinations to offer.
Picturesque towns and villages await you in the Vulkaneifel. They welcome you with charming little alleys, winding streams, and a dreamy atmosphere. Pure idyll—just like in the spa gardens, where you can escape the daily grind for a while and give your soul some breathing room. One very special park is the Römerkessel Landscape Therapy Park in Bad Bertrich, designed so that each of its seven themed gardens has a soothing effect on body and mind—the first of its kind in Europe.
In the Vulkaneifel, tradition is alive and well. Immerse yourself in the world of traditional crafts, for example at the Moll Candle Factory. There, in addition to homemade soaps and honey, you can purchase handcrafted candles and learn how candles are made by hand.
Our guided tours invite you to take a trip into the natural beauty of the Vulkaneifel while learning plenty of new things about the landscape around you. You can choose from a wide variety of themes: herb walks, historical city tours, or forest bathing are just some of the options on the program.
