Quite a lot of asphalt and steeetig steeply uphill - but rewarded with great panoramic views! The round is rather something in spring / autumn, otherwise the leaves obscure the view.

Anyone familiar with the ancient idiom—now largely lost—will recognize the root word "meucheln" (to kill/murder) in the "Meuchelberg" found here. The fact that the local cemetery is located at its foot on the outskirts of Heimbach naturally reinforces this impression. GH's interesting article on the corresponding hiking highlight (see komoot.com/de-de/highlight/509905 ), with its linked reference to several legends that—albeit with different interpretations of the details—all convey the same core message, could indeed explain the name.
