Hotel Tannenfels This hotel, owned by the Klever family, has been welcoming our guests on the Volcanic Eifel Walking Tour for some years now. Situated at the edge of town, it is easy to head straight off into the countryside. All rooms have either bath or shower; many have a balcony. A small gym is available to guests. All meals are carefully and individually prepared from fresh ingredients and are served in the attractive dining restaurant. |
