The 5 Most Amazing Peaks around Fleringen

Wonderful view from the highest point of the Wöllersberg directly at the lava quarry. A footpath and later a trail lead to the highest point. Panoramic view over all the surrounding meadows, fields, and villages.

"To the west of the Langer Stein (640m) and Seimersberg (662m) we move to the Prümer Kopf. The gradients have so far proven to be very moderate, as they are today. In the surrounding spruce forest we repeatedly discover up to two meter high anthills ( https://www.das-tierlexikon.de/ameise/) and these are often surprisingly close together. We also encounter an unusually large number of hard-working dung beetles; we often have to be very careful not to step on them.

"The Black Man is 697.3 meters high. And of course it has nothing to do with the children's song - oh what! The Internet knows: The Black Man is the highest peak in the Schneifel and the third highest mountain in the Eifel (after the Hohe Acht and the Erresberg) and is considered an Eldorado for winter sports enthusiasts and hikers seven kilometers north-west of Prüm not far from the Belgian border in the Hohes Venn nature park located, but which covers a larger area, but comes from the word "Schneise" and designates the mountain range to which the black man also belongs." https://susanne-wingels.de/tag/forstmeisterjansenstein

"With an area of approx. 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolsteiner Dolomites has been a nature reserve since 1990. + occurring animal species: bat + occurring plant species: juniper, orchids, character plants calcareous grassland, grove rush-beech forest, woodruff-beech forest, orchid-limestone-beech forest Around 380 million years ago there was a warm, subtropical shallow sea here, in which mighty reefs of stromatopores - relatives of sponges - and corals formed. After the dolomitization, sinking and folding of the rocks, the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. Today's Gerolsteiner Dolomites were formed, which rise steeply above the Kylltal north of the center of Gerolstein. The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" characterize the cityscape from afar and form the landmark of Gerolstein. The most famous summit of the Gerolsteiner Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters - and offers a breathtaking view over Gerolstein, the Kylltal and far into the Vulkaneifel. Stone Age people, who settled here 30,000 years ago, obviously enjoyed this view, as evidenced by stone tools and bones found at the nearby Buchenloch Cave. Visiting the Gerolsteiner Dolomites can be perfectly combined with hiking the Felsenpfad - the northern part of the "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht". The almost eight-kilometer round tour offers many magical places and geological traces." https://www.eifel.info/a-gerolsteiner-dolomites

Here, skiers and snowboarders are transported to the starting point with two tow lifts. From there, two blue-marked descents lead back down. The Schwarzer Mann ski area offers a total of 1.5 km of slopes for beginners, families and advanced skiers. www.skigebiete-test.de

In addition to Hellenthal-Udenbreth, one of the most famous winter sports areas in the Eifel. The Schwarzer Mann ski area is about 14 km northwest of Prüm in the Eifel. On the Schwarzen Mann ridge (697 meters peak) it offers an easy and a medium-difficulty downhill slope for relaxed skiing and snowboarding. An alternative to skiing is the natural toboggan run with its own toboggan lift. For children, the Schwarzer Mann winter sports center not only offers the two ski slopes, but also its own mini children's toboggan run. For cross-country skiers there are around ten kilometers of groomed cross-country trails. And hikers can look forward to around five kilometers of signposted winter hiking trails in the Schwarzen Mann winter sports area. To stop off, the Blockhaus Schwarzer Mann offers Eifel specialties, home-style cooking, coffee and cake and more. Source: https://www.skiresort.de/skigebiet/schwarzer-mann-pruem/

A mighty, beautiful building in the middle of the Eifel, including the building of the adjoining grammar school.

The Basilica of St. Salvator stands in Prüm, a town in the West Eifel region. In 721, the Frankish noblewoman Bertrada founded a monastery on her estate on the Prüm River with monks from Echternach. A second foundation was established in 752 by King Pippin, who had married a granddaughter of the first founder, with monks from Meaux near Paris, who lived according to the Rule of St. Benedict. In 1222, the monastery became the center of an independent principality, which was annexed by the Elector of Trier in 1576. The Elector and Archbishop of Trier then served as the abbot's administrator. Reconstruction of the abbey buildings began in 1721. As part of the Napoleonic secularization, the abbey was finally dissolved in 1802. Prüm, which initially belonged to the original parish of Rommersheim, was under the pastoral care of the Marienstift (St. Mary's Collegiate Church) from the mid-15th century. The Marienstift had been founded in 1016 by Abbot Urold of Prüm. The collegiate church became the parish church. In 1802, the monastery church became the parish church, and the collegiate church was demolished in 1826.
