    Hiking

    On the guard building on the hilltop indicate only minor traces of soil. These soil traces are made by a far-visible superstructure in front of the volcano parking station Katzenberg

    Damage and weather protected.

    Even geological and volcanological enthusiasts will get their money's worth: you can see the impressive walls of the Bellerberg volcano stream, which ended here at the Katzenberg.

    Hiking

    Nice far view on Mayen and the Genovevaburg.

    Around 300 AD, a fortress was built on the Mayen Katzenberg. With an area of ​​1.2 hectares, Katzenberg is the largest known late Roman refuge in the Rhineland.

    The vantage point on the highest point of the Katzenberg served to observe the surrounding area and, in the event of an emergency, also made it possible to transmit signals to other, smaller fortifications along the Nette.
