    Tips

    September 20, 2021

    Dear guest, this highlight is located in the Eifel National Park. To protect sensitive species, special rules apply: Stay on the paths, keep dogs on a leash, and ride your bike/mountain bike only on designated trails. Further information can be found at nationalpark-eifel.de.

    🦌 The red deer viewing gallery on the Dreiborn Plateau promises an unforgettable natural spectacle for all ages. You can observe red deer here year-round!
    🍂 In the autumn months, the red deer are on the lookout for a mate: their impressive courting calls (roaring) echo for miles across the plateau.
    🤠 During the entire rutting season, our rangers are available at the gallery to provide expert information.
    ℹ In addition to the usual rules of conduct in the national park, special additional rules apply at the viewing gallery. By following these rules, you and other guests will be able to enjoy a special natural spectacle – without frightening or disturbing the animals.

    👉 Rules of conduct and tips for your visit to the viewing gallery:

    - Be especially quiet on the gallery and on the way there 🤫
    - Wearing soft, low-noise clothing is recommended
    - Avoid sudden movements
    - Never step onto the area in front of the gallery and do not lean too far out of the viewing window 🚷
    - Do not use artificial light sources 🔦
    - Dogs are not allowed on the gallery (exceptions apply to guide dogs) 🐶
    - Do not eat or drink on the gallery – this often causes noise 🥪

    Thank you for your understanding! 🦌💚
    We wish you a wonderful time in this special protected area!

      During the rutting season, the rangers of the national park are present and are available with tips and explanations. The viewing gallery is handicapped accessible, so that wheelchair users can also use the gallery.

        ..... There is actually always game here, you just have to bring some time with you. And during the rutting season of the red deer there is often something going on, outside and inside.

          A hike over the Dreiborn plateau, from which you can start very well at the viewing gallery, is a completely new experience every time.

            Even if you don't always see wild animals, a detour here is worthwhile for the great view alone!

              Very nicely laid out and very well attended, especially during the rutting season

                It is an impressive experience to watch the deer and hear the roaring in the rut.

                    If you want to be impressed by the landscape on the Dreiborn plateau and like to see one or the other wild, this is the right place.

                      The view is great, in the evening you can actually always see deer. It is best to bring binoculars with you. A parking lot is very close by.

                        Beautiful covered viewing area that offers us a wonderful view of the Dreiborn plateau. Even outside of the rutting season, you can always spot deer from here, especially in the late afternoon or early evening.

                          Although there were no deer around at the time, the view was still very beautiful, especially when the gorse was in bloom.

                            The gallery is in a really good location. You have a beautiful view and can really spot the wildlife. You should probably keep quiet 🤫
