    Refuge on the red wine hiking trail with a beautiful view of Dernau.

      Dr. Karl Näkel was chairman of the Eifelverein Dernau. With Karl Näkel's assistance, hiking trails and hiking facilities were built, the network of trails marked and the road to Krausberg expanded. However, Näkel earned the greatest merit for the Ahr Valley - together with the then District Administrator Heinz Korbach - with the establishment of the red wine hiking trail.

        With the Dr. Karl Näkel Hut above Dernau, the Dernau local group of the Eifel Association erected a memorial to its chairman in 1985, i.e. during his lifetime.

          From this refuge you have a nice view of Dernau.

            I didn't pass the refuge, but my way was adventurous. It was very overgrown and you had to climb over several tree trunks.

              Great view of the Ahr valley, unfortunately very destroyed by the tidal wave.

                As part of the Wine Spring, a tasting station was set up here.
