ウルメンの絶景の山頂・トップ12

High atop Pinnerberg Mountain stands the Pinner Cross, a vantage point offering a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. Its name comes from a shepherd who, while saving one of his lost animals from a fall, lost his life in the process. The cross was erected in his memory. The view of the town of Cochem with its Reichsburg Castle and the entire Moselle loop is impressive.

The cross is approximately 18 meters high and consists of a cross spire, a shaft, and a base. High up on the Pinnerberg, which is easily accessible by the Cochem chairlift, stands the Pinner Cross, a vantage point with a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. The name goes back to a shepherd who tried to save one of his lost animals from falling and lost his life in the process. The cross was erected in his memory.

The lounger offers us a fantastic view when the weather's nice. Just sit back and enjoy!

The Eifel-Blick Kreuzberg is located at 516 meters above sea level and, on a clear day, offers a magnificent view over the heights of the Volcanic Eifel all the way to the Hunsrück. Be sure to make the short detour to the summit cross. It's worth it!

Great mound inhabited by Boer goats. Dogs are allowed in, logically on a leash, and they have to go in through a turnstile. (may be difficult depending on the size of the dog)

Very nice and wide view

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.” (Text source: Dean Rainald M.
