The pallet bench that is still visible in older photos has disappeared. Now there is a bench without a backrest on two blocks.

View of Hönningen an der Ahr

If I hadn't known beforehand that there was a highlight here, I would have walked right past it. From here you have a beautiful view of Hönningen/Ahr.

Fantastic view over the landscape of the Eifel. On the horizon is u.a. also to see the Hohe Acht ...

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the hut you have a great view over the Eifel landscape.
In front of the hut there are a few tables and benches that are always accessible, so you can take a relaxing break...

After climbing the narrow and steep path from below and seeing the gate appear in front of you, it is a very beautiful sight.

Too exhausted for a tour report.
It was beautiful, it was quiet and lonely.
When the weather is clear, you are guaranteed to have great views here.
