Trail up to the cross, then a final sprint and then back down the wide path with the great view. Fun! 🌄🏃‍♂️📯

The floor is lava! Well, big boulders with solidified lava.

Beautiful section of the path that leads us between lava rocks to the Windsborn crater lake.

No cross (touch) home...

Great to ride up on a mountain bike. But it's better to push the last 10m

At the summit cross it goes steeply down. Great view. Here comes a steel cable from below. An exit option from the via ferrata.

Here at the summit cross you can watch the tormented or beaming faces of the climbers, since this is where the via ferrata leads to the destination after crossing the 20-metre-high rope bridge in the rocks.

The volcanic cone was formed 108 million years ago. Magma penetrated the Devonian sandstone layers and solidified below the earth's surface. This passage or chimney made of hard basalt protected the surrounding sandstone from erosion, leaving the conical shape of the Neuerburger Kopf, which is still clearly visible today. Classified as belonging to the Cretaceous period, the Neuerburger Kopf and the neighboring Lüxeberg are the oldest volcanic features in the Eifel. The Neuerburger Kopf was formerly called Merkuriusberg (Mercurius, Roman god of trade). The former name is explained by the Roman trade and military roads that crossed next to it. The current name refers to a castle. Archbishop Albero (1131-1152) had a "novum castrum" (= new castle) built, which was completed in 1168 by Archbishop Hillin and expanded by Archbishop Henry II (1260-1286). The castle was used primarily to collect customs duties on the neighboring trade route and was one of the seven castles of the Electorate of Trier, along with Manderscheid, Arras, Saarburg, Grimburg, Welschbillig and Ehrenbreitstein. The last inhabitants of Hatzdorf, which had been ravaged by the plague and abandoned, settled under the protection of the castle and founded the village of Neuerburg. Neuerburg Castle was most likely destroyed in 1689 by the French Marshal François de Créquy, who also had Wittlich destroyed from Mont Royal. Today only a few remains of the walls can be found.

Best non-alpine via ferrata in Germany 👍, but definitely not for beginners

The sword of the knights who sealed the peace. At the same time the exit of the via ferrata!

Of course, the new via ferrata also includes a summit cross

Summit cross at the end of stage 3

The path leads through the rock formations. That is very nice.

The observation tower on the Moseberg is worthwhile for its beautiful view and for protection from the sun and rain.

A beautiful place - you feel very proud when you are up there, although it is not that high 😀 The view of the crater lake is also very beautiful!

The bizarre rock formations are reminiscent of the volcanic past and have their very own charm. The summit cross is easy to climb and you have a beautiful view of the Windsborn crater lake

The Neuerburger Kopf is clearly visible from afar. The striking mountain towers 286 meters above the Wittlich depression. Experts estimate that it is 108 million years old - much older than the maars of the volcanic Eifel. A robber baron's castle already stood on it, and vineyards were once planted here too. The Neuerburger Kopf consists mainly of sandstone and basalt. It is probably 108 million years old. The volcanoes in the Eifel are much younger, around 45 million years old. The Luxembourgers built a robber baron's castle on the Neuerburger Kopf, wanting to weaken the Electorate of Trier, which had large areas in the Eifel, and to make access to the Moselle more difficult. The Trierers did not put up with this, destroyed the castle and built their own castle on the Neuerburger Kopf in the 13th century." In 1689 it was almost completely destroyed by the French general Bouffleurs. Stones from this ruin were used in the construction of many of Neuerburg's houses.

Not particularly high, but still SUMMIT LUCKY :-)

The circular route around the Mosenberg is definitely worthwhile here. This crater is the only crater lake north of the Alps.

In autumn when it is foggy everything here has something mystical. A great circular route around the Mosenberg.
