At the Kuckucksley viewpoint you have a beautiful view over the Olef valley to Olef, a district of Schleiden. At Kuckucksley (Ley means rock) there is a refuge with a barbecue area.

As with many (viewpoint) locations whose names contain the word "ley" (or "lay"), such a name indicates slate as the underlying rock. Since we are located here – geologically speaking – in the "Rhenish Slate Mountains," the number of corresponding "ley" locations is not surprising.
