Show more opening hours

The Erlenbrunnen (also called "Erlebuhr", "Saurebuhr" or "Eedel" (after a nearby quarry)) is located between Bell and Mendig and was built in 1809.
People who live in Bell like to use it as a resting place on the footpath to Mendig.
However, due to the location - at least in popular thinking - it is not clear to which municipality this well belongs. Since the fountain has two outlets, over time the vernacular has gotten used to referring to the upper outlet as Bell and the lower Mendig, which means that as a Beller you are often (jokingly) viewed critically when you leave the "Mennije Boo "drinks.
The alder fountain was renovated in 1931, 1964 and 1988 and associations from both communities are responsible for maintaining the fountain.

The fountain is on the route of the "Traumpfad Four Mountains Tour".

Aschestrom in Bad Tönisstein

Almost 13,000 years ago, glowing clouds from the Laacher See volcano raced down the Brohltal and filled it with loose volcanic masses. This impressive spectacle can still be seen here today. Follow the road on the right behind the building complex and go uphill for a few meters. On the slope to the right, the layers of ash (trass) that have settled on the rocks of the older basement can be clearly seen. And where volcanoes were active, mineral springs are usually not far away.

Gleitfalte am Dachsbusch

The mining of volcanic material on the Dachsbusch ate deeper and deeper into the old cinder cone. It gives us an insight into the volcanic and climatic history. The volcanic layers show how they slipped during a cold period about 150,000 years ago due to the alternation of thawing and freezing. The badger bush does not need to fear further depletion, as the area is now a nature reserve. Follow the signposted path to the right up to the gliding fold, where you will find more information.
