    Hiking

    According to legend, Emperor Charlemagne got lost in the High Fens on a hunting trip from his nearby residence in Aachen and was forced to spend the night on this large quartzite rock.
    When he then refused the hat offered to him by his servant with the words "No hat", this is said to have led to the name of the neighboring town.


    As I said - this is a legend...

    The information board on site provides information about the origin of the place name Mützenich ("Cap I"), Emperor Karl's bedstead according to legend and the geological perspective and evaluation of the two Vennwacken.

    Very nice rest area, even for a smaller group there is enough space.
