guess in late spring 2021 the highest elevation of the Leuscheid is tree-free. Then you could also discover Cologne Cathedral with binoculars. Nice local recreation area around it

The silhouette of the Siebengebirge can be seen very nicely. This lookout is also a perfect place for the sunset.

May 18, 2026, Studchen Summit Viewpoint (311 m)

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
