ジンツィッヒの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Hikers are welcome guests at the Krausberghütte, located on the mountain of the same name above Dernau, just a stone's throw from the Krausberg Tower (if interested, see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/72123). It is run by the local chapter of the Eifel Association – a volunteer organization. Those planning a stop here should check the opening hours beforehand.

A striking point in the Ahreifel is undoubtedly the Krausberg above Dernau. It is not only known for a hut run by the local branch of the Eifel Association, but also for the Krausberg Tower.

!! Just before the summit, turn sharply right and ascend steeply in steps. Almost everyone, however, goes straight ahead the first time and ends up in alpine scree. Recently, a small sign reading "Hikers permitted" was installed at the fork – but it's so high above the ground that it's easily missed (photo). Mr. Merzbach, District Forester, take note! 2026: The bend is now marked with many blue dots. Following them will save you from the scree-covered wasteland.

Beautiful, well-kept hiking trails around the Malberg. Goats are currently grazing there to keep the impassable parts free.

Great view. Here you can linger.

The path is tough, but so is the view. The Landskrone is also visible from afar, for orientation. Only on New Year's Eve should you think twice whether you want to go here... because many people have the idea, fireworks are sometimes shot across, and if something happens then it could take a while for help to arrive (fortunately that didn't happen to us back then).

Beautiful natural paths around the Malberg

The view from the plateau of the Landskrone ruins is worth the climb.
