    Hiking

    The Scheidskopf or Daukopf is a volcano that was extinct centuries ago and where basalt was mined.
    From the summit, which is not very easy to reach, you have a great view of the surrounding landscape, especially in the late afternoon.

    Hiking

    Definitely worth a detour!
    Even if, like me, you ride a mountain bike. Short carrying passage to the highest point, then enjoy the view extensively and then down again on a somewhat more demanding single trail and further over the old railway embankment all the way down.
    Translated by
    "... Although the new premium hiking trail" Apollinaris Loop "goes past the remains of the exploited basalt volcano Scheidskopf, it is worth making a detour and exploring the area. ..."
