Tips

Mountain biking

The modern observation tower, approximately 30 meters high, was built in 2014. From its platform, one can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of surrounding mountains such as the Hohe Acht, the Aremberg, the Michelsberg, and the Nürburgring when visibility is good. Information panels explain the directions of the view and make orientation easier.

Cycling

The 30-metre observation tower was built at the end of 2014 to replace the previous tower that stood here from 1973 to 2011.

Climb up the 147 steps to enjoy a panoramic view of your surroundings from an elevation of 720 metres.

Hiking

You can start many great hikes at the “white stone” car park. On the tower there is a real view of the Eifel 🥰Around the tower there is a great playground, soccer field and climbing wall. An excursion that is worthwhile
