Panoramic Rest Area with View of Hochkelberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view of the Hochkelberg. But also to Köttelbach to the "giant bench" at the grill hut of the traditional association. When visibility is good, the Aremberg can be seen in the distance.

The bench is over three meters high and five meters wide. From here you have a wonderful view of the Hochkelberg, over Köttelbach and into the Trierbachtal. If you stay longer, it is advisable to put on a jacket.
