A wonderful view over the Rureifel. On the opposite side the Ordensburg Vogelsang.

A quick reference: Ordensburg is the SS Ordensburg, i.e. a Nazi castle. If you want to know more, go to Vogelsang IP, where you can see the dark chapter in the story. Also its continued use by the British and Belgian military. Otherwise, a beautiful view over this part of the Eifel.
