Munterley, Dolomite rock formation in Gerolstein, Germany.

The Munterley rises 100 meters above the Kyll Valley floor, forming part of the Gerolstein Dolomites with steep vertical rock walls.

The limestone reef developed 380 million years ago during the Devonian period when the region existed as a subtropical shallow sea near the equator.

The protected geological site integrates with the Vulkaneifel Nature and Geopark, preserving natural heritage within the Eifel mountain range system.

Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit, connecting to the Gerolsteiner Dolomiten circular route that spans across the surrounding rock formations.

The rock structure contains fossil remains of ancient marine organisms, including stromatopores and corals that formed the original reef system.
