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.

A challenging climb out of the Lampert Valley. Here ends a Stations of the Cross, which presumably started from the church in Aldendorf. Here you can see the last stations.

It is definitely worth climbing the Calvary Hill in Alendorf.

From up here you have a fantastic and far-reaching view over the Lampertstal, the juniper meadows and of course Alendorf.

From here you have a beautiful view of the Auberg, from where you can enjoy a wonderful view of Gerolstein.

Beautiful view of Alendorf and the surrounding area…

At the top of the Calvary there is not only the summit cross, but also several benches and a relaxation lounger, so that you can enjoy the view after the strenuous ascent.
