Central Information Center for Devil's Gorge

The Teufelsschlucht Nature Park Center in the Südeifel Nature Park, with its nature park museum and bistro featuring a forest terrace, is the ideal starting point for tours through the rocky landscape surrounding the Teufelsschlucht.

The exhibition at the Nature Park Museum provides information on the formation, history, and unique features of the rocky landscape. Key topics include the geology of the sandstone rock landscape and the archaeology of the region. A tour of the museum is part of the informative and entertaining Teufelsschlucht audio tour, which is available for free in the “Lauschtour App” for your smartphone.

The "Teufels Küche" bistro invites you to enjoy a snack or relax on the sun terrace. Groups can also book catering here.

For groups of all kinds—school classes, company outings, youth groups, families, or hiking groups—the Nature Park Center team organizes nature excursions, adventure programs, and active activities.

Hiking trails: Three marked trails through the Teufelsschlucht of varying lengths begin and end at the Nature Park Center: the Small and Large Teufelsschlucht Loop Trails, as well as the Teuflische Acht, which connects the Teufelsschlucht and the Irreler Waterfalls. The premium hiking trail "Felsenweg 6" of the NaturWanderPark delux is also named after the Devil’s Gorge, and the Nature Park Center serves as a rest stop and place to refuel along the way.

House of Hunting: Attached to the Nature Park Center is the House of Hunting of the German Hunting Association, featuring exhibitions on the history of hunting since the Stone Age as well as local wildlife species.    

Dinosaurs and More: A privately operated apiary is located in the immediate vicinity of the Nature Park Center. And just a few steps away, the large Teufelsschlucht Dinosaur Park invites visitors on a journey through prehistory. A day trip combining a hike through the Teufelsschlucht with a stop at the Nature Park Center and a visit to the Dinosaur Park is highly recommended—not just for families with children.
