The Hochkessel is with 421 meters one of the highest mountains, which lie directly on the Moselle.
On it are found the remains of a Celtic refuge. Remains of the double wall are still visible. However, a lot of tools were found during excavations, which suggest that even before the Celts the high boiler was a popular settlement area.
At the moment you better not go to the boiler, because he is not only disintegrated by forestry vehicles, but literally ruined. The former paths are superimposed by left branches and totally disintegrated.
Pity about the monuments that should rest there and should be protected.
