Landscape

The Volcano and Panoramic Trail leads over a steep ascent on Teufelsberg. From there, it offers a view into the crater of Herchenberg; at the same time, the trail provides a panoramic view. A 15-kilometre circular trail runs over the heights around Burgbrohl.

A short detour of around 50 metres leads from the route to the Trass Caves. They document the extraction of trass, which began as early as Roman antiquity and reached its peak from the 17th to the early 20th century.

Paths and Tours

History and Architectural Heritage

Burgbrohl Castle stands on a promontory above the town and was the seat of the Lords of Brule from 1093/1112. In the centre of Burgbrohl stands the Joseph Column, dating from 1786, which is considered a rare form of statue in the Rhineland. The former Hotel zur Krone is one of Burgbrohl’s most distinctive buildings and is located opposite the Joseph Column and Josefsplatz.

The Old Church is a historic church building with openings framed by basalt lava. The surviving remains of the former cemetery include grave crosses and numerous gravestones; the outdoor area is freely accessible. St. John the Baptist was built between 1907 and 1909 as a three-aisled neo-Gothic church.

The former Buchholz provostry is located approximately two kilometres south of Weiler. Its nave, eastern façade and interior feature characteristic Romanesque elements.

The Kaiserhalle is a domed hall for balls and theatre performances, featuring an unusual shell made of unreinforced lightweight concrete. It has been available for events since spring 2019.

Cycle Paths and Transport

The Vulkanpark touring cycle route runs from the Eifel towards the Rhine. The Brohltal Cycle Route is a 30-kilometre mountain-bike trail through the volcanic Eifel landscape.

The Brohltalbahn serves the Burgbrohl and Weiler railway stations. Signposted access paths to the Volcano and Panoramic Trail lead from both stations.

Burgbrohl is connected to the national road network via the B9 running along the Rhine, the A61 and the B412 running between the Rhine and the Eifel.
