"Eifelsteig" Youth Hostel
The Eifelsteig youth hostel in Gerolstein is just as famous as the fountain water from this fountain town. It is situated above the town and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding area. In Gerolstein, the characteristic volcanic landscape with the Gerolstein Dolomite rocks is impressive. This unique geotope was and is a habitat that must be preserved. The town has launched a project for a pesticide-free and bee-friendly community and pays attention to a species-rich natural environment in the town.
