メンテニヒの絶景の山頂・トップ5

fantastic view of the monastery

Those exploring the dream trail "Pyrmonter Felsensteig" will reach the highest point of the route on the Sammetzkopf. There, an illuminated summit cross stands prominently, even in the dark. From the Sammetzkopf, an impressive view opens up: It stretches as far as Münstermaifeld with its magnificent collegiate church and further to the volcanoes of the Eastern Eifel. The wide panoramic view over the plateau forms a fascinating yet harmonious contrast to the narrow paths in the Elz Valley.

The descent from here is OK, the cross itself is, as Danger Willi says, just a cross. The path from the Schockhütte to the cross is barely recognizable.

Well, the trail is barely recognizable from the run-down hut to the cross, and the trail that leads under the cross is practically non-existent. But once you're at the cross, the trail section towards Treis is quite nice.

A classic, the shock cross with fine downhill 💨

A wonderful all-round view from Treis to the Moselle 😊🙌

A cross - that's the highest point, but otherwise there's nothing special here. The reward is just a cool descent waiting for you.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes 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 overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God.
