Slightly hidden spot for the view of the lake. Unfortunately, the paths are quite overgrown, but it's worth it.

The Mahlscheid is a secondary peak of the Hohenseelbachkopf and lies exactly on the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The Mahlscheid and the Hohenseelbachskopf represent several large basalt cones that were formed here by volcanic activity about seven million years ago. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the basalt cone of the Mahlscheid was visible from afar. Basalt mining for road construction – carried out until the 1950s – led to the removal of the cone and created the quarry crater with the Silbersee lake that can be found today. However, basalt columns up to 40 m high are still visible in the steep walls of the crater. The Mahlscheid, the Hohenseelbachskopf, and the Druidenstein, located only about 5 km away, were presumably important Celtic cult sites. Around the 4th century BC, the area of the Mahlscheid was covered with Celtic hill forts. You are welcome to view this nature reserve from the outside, but entering is forbidden and punishable by fine. https://www.westerwald-sieg.de/d/silbersee-im-naturschutzgebiet-mahlscheid/
