geysir andernach

The visit comprises three part: (1) a museum, (2) a short cruise on the Rhine and (3) the site itself. The museum exhibition is very informative and well interpreted. The boat trip is relaxing, whilst the site visit takes your breath away, as the geyser suddenly erupts and reaches a spectacular height.

We were in Mulheim Karlich for a weekend, got to know about this place from a local.Went there on a saturday. The exhibition prior to the boat ride was excellent. The complete details of the geyser is explained in the exhibition. The boat ride was awesome. The guide at the geyser was good.The place is worth for the ticket money paid.

This is a nice place to see, although I wouldn't recommend making a special trip all the way to Andernach in order to see it. If you are in the neighborhood then it's worthwhile.In order to buy a ticket you must enter the museum and purchase a ticket.The boat ride is short and pleasant and it is surprising and interesting to see this tall Geysir erupt from underground.

There is a public parking space in front of the visitor centre. We skipped the exhibition which is said to explain what a geyser is and how it works. The boat trip takes around 20 minutes ans you can buy refreshments on board. The boat leaved 4 times a day when we visited. The geyser erupts every approximately every 2 hours. In our case it erupted just one minute after our arrival. The eruption takes around 10 minutes in total and if it is windy, you can get a cold refreshing shower, however far you are standing. The children loved it. The water is potable so if you are into natural mineral waters, bring a small bottle. The staff will be happy to fill it for you.We didn't regret coming..

The world's tallest cold water geyser makes quite a splash when it shoots up to almost 200 ft. (>60 meters). Access is by river boat (wheel chair accessible), only. The Euro 14 ticket price includes an informative multi media show at the museum right opposite the boat landing and a guided tour on the Namedy peninsula. The guide will also offer you a sip of the geyser's water, the taste of which is not for the faint hearted so make sure to bring some sweets along to get rid of the after taste. There is a smooth path leading from the landing ridge to the geyser so if you have difficulties to walk or even if you are in a wheel chair you should have no problem.The eruption is quite impressive and lasts more than 10 minutes. There is plenty of room for taking fotos with an unobstructed view.and without getting wet (of course, if you like to you CAN get wet, easily).In a semi circle in front of the geyser there are many columns with information markers however, unfortunately in German only (on teh day I visited there were many French and Dutch tourists). Food and beverage are available on the boat and so are toilets. Prices were quite moderate (coffee mug plus cake for Euro 4,20).

First of all, the disabled person must have the ability to walk on their own, both in the small museum at the start of the tour, to get on the boat, and to help your companion to get you along the forest pathway that eventually gets you to the geyser. However, its not a bad trip, slow, timed to get you onto their river boat for a short quarter of a mile river journey, then a walk through the tree lined forest path to the geyser, then hang around chatting to your fellow companions while you wait for the geysir to suddenly erubt, clapping of hands, then walk back to the boat. Rather expensive for what it is, but its the only attraction in Andernach itself.

This was my first Geyser experience and was just amazing. The ticket for the geyser includes the visit to exhibition center , boat ride to-and-fro to geyser location. As Eifel area does not lie on the intersection of tectonic plates, it is interesting to learn how the geyser got established here; All this information is very well explained in the exhibition center and I guess, kids would just love it.The boat ride to geyser is 10-15 mins. The geyser only shoots out every 100 mins, so the wait to see the water bubbling out makes one more and more curious. We also tasted the water later (it is served by the people organizing and so it is not dangerous), and it is quite bad to taste with all minerals in it :) I would completely recommend a visit to Geyser.

I've seen many geysers before but never of the cold water variety. The exhibition was interesting, and Ralf who works there was ever so helpful, once finding out we spoke English, rushed away to find a booklet that had the English translations of the granddad and Marie dialogue throughout exhibit, and spent extra time with us explaining how it all works with Co2 and answering all our questions. The boat ride is quite short but pleasant, and then it's a quick walk to the geyser to wait for it to erupt. I was quite surprised at how long it went for! You even get to try the water, which was extremely salty(not surprisingly), but you can't pass up the opportunity to say that you tried it. All in all, we'll worth your time.

As we had never seen a geysir the trip had been nice and worthwhile (must warn tough, takes a total of 3 hours off your time, as such is as long as it takes, boattrip included. Located on the peninsula "Namedyer Werth". From a 350 meter deep source in the Earth the geyser erupts about every two hours, but while the water spouts for approximately six to eight minutes, the geyser’s peak lasts just a few minutes reaching a height of up to 60 metres. Unlike the better-known hot water geysers serves as actuator the CO2 of volcanic origin that floats in depth on cold ground water is its driving scourse. As sparkling water commercially exploited, but also touristicly commercialized in 1912. For decades the geyser was a popular tourist destination: 1920s daily 20,000 people came to Andernach to see this geyser. The geyser was badly damaged during both WW. Once visited the exhibition at the "Geysir Erlebniszentrum" you will be taken to this site by boat.

At least, we got a chance to because we were in a small group. In the midst of tourist season you're probably not going to be so lucky. Mind you, if you do get a chance to get close you will get wet.You buy your ticket at the geysir discovery centre, where you can visit the exposition that explains you how cold water geysirs work, the history of the Andernach geysir, etc. Quite interesting if you didn't know this yet, with lots of hands-on things for kids. Written explanations are in German and English, but the running audio narrative featuring a little girl and her grandfather is only in German, slightly too long and it does get slightly annoying towards the end.After you finish here, you get on the boat for a short trip downriver to the geysir (about 15 minutes). There are at the moment 4 departures per day, there may be more in summer and less in winter depending on the number of visitors and daylight hours.You typically arrive 10 minutes before the eruption is due, so no need for rushing and pushing. The guide is quite knowledgeable.An experience not to be missed when you're in Andernach.

It was a nice trip, but for a couple in our middle twenties it was a little bit boring. The geysir museum was kind of interesting but made for kids. Then the boat trip was too short and the geysir was not that great. I think that the trip is great for familes with young kids. Be sure to call first or look up on their website at what time the boats depart.

The highest cold water geysir in the world. You go through an exhibtion explaining it all, then on a boat trip to the geysir. Wow! It shoots up about 50m, and they collect some of the water for you to tatse (rather sulphurous, but surprisingly tasty). Definitely recommend this if you are anywhere near the area. English translations everywhere, so dont worry if your german is as non-existent as ours!

Wow. Das Museum und der Geysir. Einfach Grandios. Spitze und sehr zu empfehlen. Das taktile Museum ist nicht nur für Kinder ein Erlebnis.

Ein wirklich sehr schön und kindgerechtes Informationshaus vorab. Und dann natürlich ein tolles Naturschauspiel. Nicht ganz billig aber sehr zu empfehlen!

Die Zeitvorgabe mit 1,5 h im Museum ist mehr als großzügig, mir haben 15 Minuten gereicht. Beim Geysir war ein netter Herr mit zusätzlichen Infos und ein paar Hintergründen. Wasser unbedingt probieren!
