Eifel Nature Center – Experience Nature, History & Fun

At the Nature Center Eifel in Nettersheim, an exciting experience awaits you focusing on nature and history – perfect for the whole family. The exhibitions in the main building bring archaeology and natural history to life, and numerous interactive stations invite you to discover.

Whether guided excursions, seminars, or varied programs for children and school classes – there is something for everyone here. The dandelion experience trail and the archaeological landscape park also offer you great opportunities for hiking and exploring.

Regular events like fossil hunting, insights into beekeeping, or the life of the Romans make your visit particularly varied.

Regular events:
"Fossils? - I find that good!", "High rope climbing garden in the natural forest", "Looking over the shoulder of the beekeeper", "This is how the Romans lived in Nettersheim", and many more!

The operation is a partner operation in the sustainable travel destination Nordeifel.
