Highlight • Structure

A pretty drafty corner at the top of the mountain - but from here you have a great view far into the country! Just fantastic!

Slag and Pumice Caves (Sandkaul) in Rhein-Ahr-Eifel

Highlight • Cave

The descent from the Hochstein is not without its challenges...The stone formation made of slag and pumice is an interesting photo subject. However, the cave entrances are completely littered and were/are used as "open-air toilets"...

Alder Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very beautifully located earth well, which I have never seen in this way. You can drink the water (statement by a local). The new benches invite you to take a short rest.
