Ave Maria Pilgrimage Rest Area

View of the Weisweiler Power Plant from Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 570 meters, this viewpoint is one of the highest places in the vicinity. On good days you can look up to the Rhenish lignite mining area. After crossing the road expect great singletrack down to Simonskall.

Forest gravel path in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel
