Top Attractions in Nettersheim
💡 Ask at the front desk for the free 'Eifel Nature Challenge' map – it turns the walk into a scavenger hunt for kids.
💡 Bring a torch and sturdy shoes – the cave floor can be muddy, and there’s a steep climb up the hill.
💡 Go on a Sunday morning when there are fewer hikers – the quarry faces east, so the light is best for photos of the chisel marks.
💡 Arrive before 10am for the best chance to see the wolves during feeding time.
💡 Join the free guided tour of the church at 2pm (weekdays) – the monk leading it shares genuine local stories not on the information boards.
