    A 14-kilometer climb from Kesseling to the top of the Eifel. The Hohe Acht is 747 meters high. Initially, it climbs steadily through a beautiful valley, but after Kaltenborn, it becomes truly steep. The summit with its tower can only be reached on foot via a hiking trail.

      Coming from Adenau, a larger road leads to the Hohe Acht. It's very busy on weekends (cars and motorcycles).

        Conversely, it's a mega downhill from the Hohe Acht to Adenau!
