Maps and trails
One of the tourist attractions of Rockeskyll is Kerpen Castle. This medieval fortress towers majestically over the village and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding valley. Visitors can also take part in guided tours here or enjoy the view during a cosy picnic.

Cultural highlights include the annual castle festival and various concerts in the "Alte Schule" cultural centre. Here, locals and guests alike meet to celebrate and relax.

Rockeskyll also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the famous "Vulkanschinken", a local speciality made from smoked pork. Other regional delicacies can be found in the local restaurants or at weekly markets.

For outdoor activities, summer is particularly suitable, when you can go hiking, cycling or canoeing. In winter, on the other hand, the nearby Hohe Acht ski area beckons with its slopes and cross-country ski trails.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Strohn Volcano House - an interactive museum all about the history of the volcanoes in the region. Or simply make yourself comfortable in one of the many restaurants and cafés in the village.

No matter what time of year, Rockeskyll is always worth a visit. Discover the beauty of the Volcanic Eifel and let yourself be enchanted by this charming place. Our travel guide is always at your disposal!
