The "Eifel-Blick" Bergfried Reifferscheid, like all the "Eifel-Blick" I've visited so far, is a perfect vantage point with a distant view. From up here you can enjoy a great view of the castle town of Reifferscheid. The ascent from the valley to the castle complex is definitely worthwhile. If you are not that good on foot, you have the opportunity to visit the castle from Hönningen. There is a parking lot directly in front of the castle gate.

Assuming the weather is good, the platform on the keep of Reifferscheid Castle offers fantastic views of the northern Eifel. You can get here, for example, on the Eifel loop "In the footsteps of the robber barons".

Beautiful view over the village, the hills, the forests and thus the Eifel. A real Eifel-Blick.
