Touch, grasp and understand - this is what distinguishes the interactive museum Vulkanhaus Strohn.

Already in the middle of the second century, the Romans had a villa in Welschbillig. In the second half of the fourth century, they constructed an even larger one, which in U-shape was connected west of a 60-by-20-meter pond, surrounded by 112 herds.

The Germanic bridge over the Kleine Kyll is part of the Kleine Kyll and Punkt 4 mindfulness path on the way and stands for inspiration.

Here, there is a panoramic view onto the hills of the “Lampertstal”. From the highest point of Calvary Hill, daytrippers can enjoy the best view onto one of the most beautiful and largest juniper heathlands in North-Rhine Westphalia. The nature conservation area with its wild, slim, tall shrubs extends over an area of 650 hectares, suddenly giving the North Eifel region, which is otherwise covered with dense forest, a Mediterranean feel.

The sulphur spring, called Wallenborn, is a hydrogen sulphide spring and is located about 1 km south of Heckenmünster.
