Daun.
The heart of the Vulkaneifel.
Anyone visiting the Vulkaneifel can’t miss Daun—the home town of Brauer’s LandARThotel. And that’s a good thing. This small county seat is nestled among rolling hills and surrounded by the famous Daun maars. It’s a place that seamlessly blends nature and city life. Small enough to make you feel right at home. Yet lively enough to discover something new around every corner.
The historic old town is a wonderful place to stroll. Small shops invite you to browse, and cozy cafés invite you to linger. The market square is bustling with life, especially on market days, when all kinds of fresh regional products are on offer. And towering above it all are the castle ruins, a reminder of times gone by that offer a magnificent view of the town. Daun is not a place for rushing. It is a place to savor the moment.

The "City of Springs" in the Eifel, famous for its mineral water. Springs flow here whose history dates back to Roman times. The Church of the Redeemer and the Gerolstein Dolomites offer impressive views and rewarding hiking destinations.

Real encounters.
Where hospitality is at home.
What these cities have in common is their authenticity. People who love their hometowns and are happy to show it. Hospitality that comes from the heart.
Whether it’s over a cup of coffee in the town square or while browsing in a small artisan shop—it’s the little, unplanned encounters that make a trip to the Vulkaneifel so special.
After a day in the city.
Arrive and enjoy.
As the afternoon draws to a close and your shopping bags are full, you make your way back to Brauer’s LandARThotel. Perhaps with a new book from the crime fiction shop. Perhaps with a bottle of Gerolsteiner mineral water straight from the spring. Or simply with the satisfying feeling of having spent a day full of variety.
Now it’s time for a nice dinner at Restaurant 800°C, a glass of wine, and looking forward to tomorrow. Because there’s always something new to discover in the Vulkaneifel.
