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.

The tower stands on top of the Mouse Mountain. The staircase is very narrow, a spiral staircase leads upstairs. The view is really worth it. The tower was erected as a monument to the founder of the Eifel Club. https://www.eifel.info/a-dronketurm

Beautiful view with a display board for orientation. The tower, which was built in 1902, is only 11 meters high, but stands on top of the 560-meter-high Mouse Mountain, which is 166 meters above the Gemünder Maar. This guarantees a magnificent view over the surrounding area.

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.
