It is assumed that the first chapel was built on the Michelsberg as early as the beginning of the 14th century. A missal dated 1456 was written for the "Michaelskapelle auf dem Mahlberg", although this place name refers to the earlier name of the Michelsberg. Of the chapel, which was finally built around 1500, only the late Gothic choir with its net vault remains today. The transverse rectangular nave with a three-storey west tower in front of it was built in the late 17th century and renovated between 1857 and 1860 after large parts of it had burned down in a lightning strike in 1836. The tower roof was added in 1869. As part of its renovation in 1934 and 1935, an observation platform was also created in the tower. The chapel was systematically repaired between 1953 and 1961. The roofs were re-covered, the exterior and interior plastering was renewed and the stucco ceiling of the nave was repaired. The open staircase on the south side, which leads to the portal of the church, was also rebuilt as part of the renovation. Source: Wikipedia

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/

Really alpine trail with easier climbing sections, not always very stable rock and sometimes finding the way requires a bit of intuition.

Beautiful place on the meadow to rest with a beautiful view 👍 In 1911 the Steinerberghaus began as a simple refuge for the Eifel Association. Ten years later it was already an excursion restaurant with overnight accommodation. To mark the 100th birthday of the Steinerberghaus, a sundial by the Bonn sculptor Anton Schmitz was inaugurated. The special thing about this clock: it is tilted parallel to the earth's axis and directed north in the shape of a globe. It therefore represents the exact image of our planet and is illuminated by the sun at the same angle as it. A map of the Earth was also carved into the surface of this massive basalt ball. That's why you can not only read the time here, but also where in the world the sun is setting or rising. Source: 111 places in the Eifel that you have to see

The chapel, built around 1500, is the end of a pilgrimage route.

A great hiking area on and around the michelsberg. The views are enormous

Follow the Way of the Cross, which takes you in a spiral around the Michelsberg uphill to St. Michael. The plateau offers very nice views of the Eifel and invites you to linger - maybe with a picnic.

At 588 meters above sea level, the Michelsberg is the highest point in the area of the city of Bad Münstereifel. The view extends far to the southeast as far as the Vulkaneifel with the Hoher Acht, Nürburg, Hochkelberg and Aremberg. To the west you look over the arable hills of the Kalkeifel to the moors of the High Fens and the forests of the Eifel National Park. The Michelsberg was already used by the Romans as a strategically located vantage point. Later it served the Franks as a pagan place of worship and court. With the construction of a chapel around 1500, the mountain received its importance as a place of pilgrimage for the veneration of Michael and its current name. (Source: Eifel.info)
