오버뒤렌바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 산 정상

NOTE: The observation tower was closed at the end of October 2025. It is unclear when the tower will reopen.

Hikers are welcome guests at the Krausberghütte, located on the mountain of the same name above Dernau, just a stone's throw from the Krausberg Tower (if interested, see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/72123). It is run by the local chapter of the Eifel Association – a volunteer organization. Those planning a stop here should check the opening hours beforehand.

A striking point in the Ahreifel is undoubtedly the Krausberg above Dernau. It is not only known for a hut run by the local branch of the Eifel Association, but also for the Krausberg Tower.

One of the most beautiful viewpoints, the forests, the village, the valley, the river and of course the ruins, beautiful.

A flood in the summer of 2021 devastated the center of Mayschoß. The federal highway 267 and the route of the Ahr Valley Railway were destroyed by the masses of water. The town could only be reached from the north (Kalenborn or Alteheck) via field and forest paths. In the past, parts of Mayschoß were destroyed by numerous Ahr floods, including those in 1804 and 1910. The restoration of the town is still in full swing.

Beautiful view from the meadow!!

You should not miss this magnificent all-round view!

From the Steinerberg you have a beautiful panoramic view over the heights of the Ahrgebirge. I also definitely recommend a stop at the cozy Steinerberghaus. The opening hours and further information can be found here: https://www.steinerberghaus.de/
