Stamp point for the 6th stage of the Natursteig Sieg and the Erlebnisweg Sieg „Wälderweg“. Why this was set up about 150 m away from the hiking trail is not entirely clear to me. Just because of the few meters of altitude on the Studchen?

Great view and then an interesting trail down to Bitze follows, but the climb is challenging without an e-bike

Great all-round view from the former Patriot missile defense position. The Mount of Olives is clearly visible. On the tar road, which leads in the direction of Waldbröl/ Panabora (Römerstrasse), the many clearings open up completely new, also very beautiful views of the country.
