Hiking

Distant view far to the north over the southeastern tip of the Lower Rhine Bay, the Zülpicher Börde. To the southeast you can see as far as the Volcanic Eifel. The basalt dome of the Michelsberg and the Hohe Acht are clearly visible.

In earlier times, analogous to the name, it was probably a place of execution.

Hiking

The Eifelblick Galgennück, located at 465 meters above sea level, is one of the most beautiful Eifel views I've visited so far. In addition to the fantastic view of the Weisweiler and Niederaußem lignite power stations, the Siebengebirge and the Hohe Acht, this view of the Eifel also has two beautiful relaxation loungers for an extended break. There is no more comfortable way to enjoy the wonderful panoramic view.
