Hohenzollern Tower

Herz

Stop, stay and enjoy: the view from the forest sofa at the Hohenzollernturm is truly fascinating.

The viewing point can be reached by the Kurschattensteig – and this seven-kilometre-long route abounds with wonderful panoramic views like this. You walk along narrow, almost Alpine paths and so arrive at the loveliest viewing points around the health resort. As well as the Hohenzollernturm you also pass by the Bismarckturm, Kuckuckslay, the panoramic view and the Mooshütte.

The HeimatSpur Kurschattensteig takes you to the tower.

The Volcano Walk

This walk for trained adventure seekers takes you through the Mürmes nature reserve and across a many-thousand-years-old lava field. It leads over fully-constructed roadways and real adventure trails for experienced walkers. Halt at the Schalkenmehrener maar, and abandon yourself to your dreams as you gaze at the deep-blue water. A little further up enjoy the view from the volcano information platform on the Steineberger Ley.

On the way you are also given information about the special geology relating to the volcanoes.

The Achterhöhe adventure trail

The Achterhöhe adventure trail not only offers wonderful distant views of the Eifel’s unique landscape but is also exciting for children. Coloured charts show youngsters how to identify an ants´ nest, learn where badgers live or discover heathland.

The platform on the Achterhöhe is the high point of the walk. Standing high above the Siebenbachtal the landscape can be properly enjoyed. Woodland benches placed right beside the platform offer a comfortable rest.
