In Ettringen, we explore the former Bellerberg volcano, now a basalt quarry. A challenging climb takes us to the top of Ettringer Bellerberg, on the western flank. A panoramic view of the East Eifel, with Mayen at our feet, is our reward.

When importing this route from the GPX data of the German Hiking Institute, Komoot declares this route as 'easy'. The route is really beautiful but far from 'easy'. There are some difficult sections with significant inclines and declines. You have to be sure-footed. Otherwise, highly recommended.
