Heimbach-Düttling
The Eifel National Park celebrates its 20th anniversary
With several offers from the National Park:
- Large information stand
- 3 Junior Ranger tours through the Düttling wilderness workshop. (in German language)
- During the tours, which are particularly exciting for families, children and young people trained as Junior Rangers will guide them through the environmental education centre in the immediate vicinity of the Meilerplatz. (in German)
- "Parcours of a different kind" The rangers of the Eifel National Park will be waiting at several stations along a designated route to provide information about their work and to familiarise guests with the activities of a ranger in an unusual way.
Watch the "Meilerbuben" at their traditional work:
During the charring phase, two charcoal burners always work round the clock at the pile and reset the smoke and draught holes. In addition, every two hours they climb up to the top of the pile and walk around it in the column of smoke to work on the top as well. At the campfire in the evening and at night, many stories are told about the barren life of the charcoal burners in the Kermeter. It gets romantic when the guitar plays.
