Katzensteine

Mechernich

The Katzensteine rise up in the middle of the Eifel - an impressive rock formation that has been telling stories for centuries. Their striking shapes and the interplay of light and shadow make this place a special highlight for nature lovers, hikers and photography enthusiasts. Legend has it that witches used to dance here, but today it is a place of peace and inspiration. Whether you want to enjoy the silence or admire the view of the surrounding landscape - the Katzensteine invite you to take a break from everyday life and be enchanted by nature.

Artfully grown stalagmites and stalactites emerged from the darkness like stone curtains hanging from the rock ceiling - more impressive than any sculptor could have created.
