크라덴바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 산 정상

The 699 meter high Ernstberg is the highest elevation in the Eifel after the Hohe Acht. Since the summit is covered in forest, you unfortunately don't have a clear view of the surrounding landscape of the Volcanic Eifel from up here. About 500 meters away and about 60 meters lower is the Eifel-Blick Ernstberg, which offers us a wonderful panorama in clear weather.

The Ernstberg is an old Pleistocene stratovolcano with a distinctive ring-shaped arrangement of welding slag and basalt deposits. Its summit consists of welding slag, which builds up a crater wall that is open to the east. This is where the basalt masses flowed out, forming a semicircle on the eastern slope of the mountain; from the Middle Ages until around 1930, millstones were quarried at the foot of the mountain.

After the climb to the summit of the Ernstberg, the benches offer a well-deserved breather.

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.

Nice view with markers for orientation. The tower, which was built in 1902, is only 11m high, but stands on top of the 560m high Mauseberg and is thus 166m above the Gemünder Maar, guaranteeing a magnificent view of the surrounding area.

안내판이 있는 아름다운 전망. 1902년에 지어진 이 타워는 높이가 11미터에 불과하지만, 해발 560미터의 마우제베르크 정상에 위치하여 겜인더 마르보다 166미터 높습니다. 이를 통해 주변 지역의 멋진 전망을 즐길 수 있습니다.

Very nice place and viewing point at the Maarkreuz above the Schalkenmehrener Maar. With its inscription "You are called the Maar Cross, for the salvation of us and this country. Emergency year 1932", the cross commemorates severe thunderstorms and the resulting damage and crop failures.
