One of the most beautiful views in Monreal. In the foreground, you can see the upper castle bridge and the café Zum alten Pfarrhaus, the church Heiligste Dreifaltigkeit, and the overlying castle ruins Löwen- and Philippsburg, very picturesquely situated on the Elzbach. Wonderful!

The Stellwerk, a wine tavern and restaurant, has been located in the old train station in Monreal since 1992. Here, hearty, freshly prepared dishes and regional as well as international wines are offered in a cozy atmosphere.

The Ulmen Maar lies 420 meters above sea level today, covers an area of 5.5 hectares, and is 36 meters deep. The bubbles at the maar's edge demonstrate that volcanism is still active. They bear witness to a turbulent past—but rest assured, there's no eruption in sight! A wall of various rocks and ash, up to 20 meters thick, surrounds the cone. For those interested, these testimonies to this explosive past are beautifully displayed in St. Matthias Church. This unique wall, with its different colored layers and rounded inclusions, is worth seeing for more than just geologists. The slopes of the maar basin are covered with a beautiful forest, which can be explored on a circular walk. A detour to the medieval castle ruins, from which the Crusaders once launched their campaigns, is recommended. The view from the crater rim over the maar and the Eifel beyond will take your breath away. Whether after a sweaty hike or a long drive, the blue of the Ulmer Eifel lake is all too tempting in summer. However, bathing in the maar is prohibited because it is designated as a nature and water protection area.

Highly recommended. If you're looking for a quieter experience, it's best to go during the week. It's packed on weekends.
