Great panoramic view overlooking Kasselburg Pelm

When the weather is good, you have a fantastic view over the hills of the Volcanic Eifel from here.

The Auberg above Gerolstein is a rocky plateau formed from dolomite and part of the impressive "Gerolstein Dolomites" nature reserve, which has been protected since 1990 and covers approximately 102 hectares. Geologically, it is a reef formed around 380 million years ago in a warm, shallow sea, exposed by karstification and folding – typical features of this Devonian limestone reef. At an elevation of approximately 360 meters above sea level, the Auberg offers spectacular views over Gerolstein, the Kyll Valley, and the entire Volcanic Eifel region – a real highlight on tours along the Eifelsteig or local circular trails such as the "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht" (Gerolstein Dolomites Eight). The trail leads through narrow crevices and past bizarre rock formations, providing a true sense of discovery while hiking. Botanically, the Auberg is a valuable habitat: rare orchids, nutrient-poor grasslands, juniper, and species-rich mosses can be found on the sparse Dolomite rocks – as well as bats in protected crevices. Smaller populations also use the area as a resting, breeding, and hunting ground. For Komoot users, there are several tour options: for example, Eifelsteig stage 9 (Hillesheim–Gerolstein) or the local "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht" (approx. 8 km), where the Auberg is a sublime intermediate destination. There's also a Reservoir–Auberg–Lissingen loop, an easy, family-friendly walk (approx. 4 km, 1 hour) with panoramic views and rocky outcrops.

What particularly catches the eye is the 37-meter-high double tower from the 14th century, on the ground floor of which there was originally a passage to the castle courtyard. The tower comprised a total of eight floors, some of which were converted into living quarters with fireplaces. Some impressive remains of the inner castle, which adjoined the gatehouse, such as the palace and the chapel building, have been preserved. The square keep, with its two lower floors, dates back to the Romanesque period and is thus the oldest part of the complex. Originally free-standing, it was later integrated into the inner castle. The Kasselburg was extensively renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries and now houses an eagle and wolf park. Source: https://kulturerbe-eifel-mosel.de/weitere-monumente/ruine-kasselburg

Small but idyllic reservoir with some seating to relax

Near Mürlenbach, the Kylltal cycle path leads over this narrow bridge. From here you have a beautiful view along the stream and over the wooded slopes.
