マイスブルクの絶景の山頂・トップ9

The steep climb to the castle is quite difficult. A real calf biter! But once at the top you forget it all. Beautiful ruin and the cave is more than worth it.

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

You just have to go up to this summit cross, it's a pity that there is no summit book.

Very well preserved ruin. Exploring them with children is a very special experience. Especially nice in late spring when the trees all around are fresh green.

The Nerother Kopf is an extinct volcano of recent date. It was formed about 15,000 years ago when the earth broke up here and glowing magma welled up from the depths of the earth. At that time, a fracture zone formed in the earth rock, which formed the origin of the volcanic chain "West Eifel". https://www.neroth.de/tourismus/nerother-kopf

The Millstone Cave is located at the summit of the Neroth Head, a wooded hill of volcanic origin east of Neroth. The entrance is just below the Freudenkoppe castle ruins at an altitude of about 640 m and can be reached via a hiking trail. The cave is 18 meters deep and its vault up to 10 meters high. It is walkable, but unlit (torch required). Wikipedia

Millstones were mined in the 18 meter deep cave at the top of the Nerother Kopf until the 18th century. The lava stone was not only mined for the production of millstones, but was also used to build the immediately adjacent Freudenkoppe Castle.

The observation tower on the Dietzenley offers an impressive view of the landscape of the Vulkaneifel. About 2500 years ago there was a Celtic housing estate on the Dietzenley with pasture areas, which were protected against attacks by ramparts up to 9 m high and 4 m wide.
