On the Geopfad in Hillesheimer Land, very interesting and good information boards.

Very nice round, but you don't have to go up the Rockeskyller head, there are no views and at some point the path ends, UM is enough....

The Rockeskyller Kopf is the most complete volcano in Germany.

Inspired by @Anita, I spontaneously decided to go for a walk around the Rockeskyller Kopf. And it was a very good decision. Thank you Anita 🤗
