オーバーデューレンバッハの絶景の山頂・トップ13

NOTE: The observation tower was closed at the end of October 2025. It is unclear when the tower will reopen.

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.

Beautiful scenery and wonderful all-round view from the tower

You should not miss this magnificent all-round view!

From the Steinerberg you have a beautiful panoramic view over the heights of the Ahrgebirge. I also definitely recommend a stop at the cozy Steinerberghaus. The opening hours and further information can be found here: https://www.steinerberghaus.de/

Juniper tower - built in 1995 by the "Naturfreunde Oberes Vinxtbachtal" regulars' table

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).
