Ettringer Bell-Berg

The Ettringer Bellerberg rises to 427.5 meters above sea level, forming the western section of a substantial volcanic formation in the East Eifel region.

The volcano originated around 200,000 years ago through multiple eruptions, creating three distinct lava streams that shaped the current landscape of the region.

The nature reserve of Ettringen and Mayen Bellberg, established in 1978, preserves 63.87 hectares of land for ecological research and wildlife protection.

Visitors can explore the Volcano Path, a 7-kilometer trail that leads through the Kottenheimer Büden area and provides views from the summit.

The volcanic complex generated three specific lava flows: the Ettringer, Mayen, and Winfeld streams, which later became the foundation for local quarrying activities.
