키르히샤르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

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.

I felt like I was in a mountain hut in the Alps.

Former witch hunt/execution site and current barbecue area... sounds a bit macabre at first. Past and present seem to be in flux here. In 1609, 62 people were executed there on six days of executions for alleged witchcraft.1512, among others, Simon von der Leyen, the 22nd abbot of the Benedictine abbey of Maria Laach, was allegedly murdered by a witch using poisoned cheese. In Antweiler alone, nine alleged witches were executed. Given the small population, this is a fairly high number of victims. In the dioceses of Trier and Cologne, the witch craze raged particularly cruelly. During the Thirty Years' War, the Saffenburg was repeatedly the scene of witch trials - until the witch hunters were driven out by Swedish troops in 1632.

Historically interesting place with explanation

Spectacular view over the Ahr Mountains and into the beautiful Ahr Valley! When the weather is clear you can see the Siebengebirge in the distance.

The ascent to the Krausberg Tower is challenging - both from Dernau and from Walporzheim ...; Once at the top you will be rewarded with a spectacular, breathtaking 360 ° view and distant view (e.g. into the Ahr valley on Dernau or to Cologne). The place invites - also for families - to linger. There is a restaurant (currently still closed due to Corona) with nice seating and a great playground. So, get out into nature.
