Eifel-Blick Schöne Aussicht - Schmidt

The view is just great

The rest area with the apt name "Schöne Aussicht" offers just that.
There is a meadow for a picnic, but also some seating.

Well worth it, an amazing view over the Rursee

This view of the Eifel on the "Simonsley" (415 meters above sea level) offers an impressive panorama above the Rursee in south-east to south-west direction, whereby the "Kermeter", a core area of the Eifel National Park, attracts attention.
Iron ore was mined on the "Simonsley" until the 19th century. The founder of the ironworks in Simonskall, Simon Kremer, had mining rights in the 17th century and operated an iron ore mine, so that the name "Simonsley" (Ley = rock) still refers to it today. In addition, there are former tunnels and pings (mounds of earth with depressions) that indicate that there is a lot of excavation.

Wonderful view of the Rursee

Panoramic view Rursee

Wonderful vantage point, ideal for a break

In today's rain you could have chosen a bank with the magnificent view over the reservoir.

Great rest area with fantastic panoramic views of the Rursee.

Striking vantage points over and on the Rursee and the opposite Eifel National Park

A very nice view of the Rursee

Located high on the Simonsley, the Eifel view "Schöne Aussicht Nideggen-Schmidt" offers a great panoramic view of the Rursee and the Kermeter high forest.

Super nice rest area with a great view.
