From this side of the Michelsberg you have a great view of the Hohe Acht, the Nürburg and the Aremberg. A nice place to just let your eyes wander ...

Already in the early days (9,600 to 5,500/4,500 BC) people lived as hunters and gatherers on and around the Michelsberg, as evidenced by numerous artifact finds (microliths, etc.). Most of the artifacts are on display in the Hürten Museum in Bad Münstereifel. In Celtic, Roman and Germanic times, the mountain was a pagan cult and court site, as the original name Mahlberg = court mountain testifies. There were sacrificial fires here until around 800 AD. After Christianization, the pagan name was passed on to the nearby town of Mahlberg, while the mountain was now consecrated to the Archangel Michael as the protector of Christianity. The pilgrimages to St. Michael take place on September 29th. Source: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelsberg_(Eifel)
