Hiking

One of the highest elevations in the Mechernich city area (375 meters). In 2017 and 18, the upper part unfortunately fell victim to the flames. As a result, many trees still look charred.

Hiking

Very nice vantage point at 375 m above sea level. A visit is worthwhile, especially since the way there is neither strenuous nor particularly demanding.
