Yes, it is useful – or, if this word seems more appropriate to you: practical – to know a hiking parking lot as a starting point for your tour, or rather to find it here in the komoot system during planning. However, under a real "highlight", which would live up to such a name, I personally imagine something more beautiful... ... and in the immediate vicinity is the Dreimühlen waterfall, famous beyond the borders of the Volcanic Eifel, which is easily accessible from here. Three euros for a day ticket are moderate.

On the way to the Dreimühlen waterfall, which is well-known beyond the Vulkaneifel region and a popular excursion destination, the hiker sees the limestone rock formation towering over the water a little beforehand. It's a bit reminiscent of the Swabian Jura, as someone told me on the way today.

The karstified limestone cliffs are the first highlight on the path from the parking lot to the waterfall. Here, the stream has carved its way through the limestone, creating the rock face. The limestone originated as a deposit of dead marine organisms on the seabed of a shallow ocean that covered this area millions of years ago. Later, the ground was uplifted by tectonic processes. Limestone reacts with acid and is therefore dissolved by rainwater and surface water, which is slightly carbonated due to the CO2 in the air. This process creates weathered formations and caves. The formation of the Dreimühlen Waterfall is also related to this process.
