Right in the heart of the Volcanic Eifel – a place of living tradition,
authentic cuisine and romantic overnight stays
in 280-380 year old half-timbered houses.
In the heart of the Volcanic Eifel lies the historic watermill – a place lovingly preserved by head miller Erwin and his mill team.
The spirit of tradition, hospitality and genuine joie de vivre lives on here. Enjoy authentic cuisine, experience romantic overnight stays and marvel at fully functional mills and machines.
From September 7 to 20, the event “Zu Tisch im Gerolsteiner Land” will take place for the first time. For two weeks, locals and visitors are warmly invited to discover the culinary diversity of our region and get to know the people who are passionately committed to regional products.
