ON A PASSIONATE DISCOVERY ROUTE
Between the Rhine and the Eifel, in the south of the Rheinland Nature Park, you will experience a hot piece of volcanic landscape.
Here in the Drachenfelser Ländchen, humans and nature have long lived with fire. Volcanic peaks, craters, and old quarries tell the story of the formation and slow erosion of the glowing mountains. And right in the middle are the traces of stonemasons and sculptors, churches, manor houses, and farms made of volcanic rock, potters and glassblowers with their fiery craft, and the delicious fruit brandies of the orchard meadows.
Flame shows the way
The symbol with the flame shows you the way on the "Fire Route".
