Eifel-Blick "Burgberg"
Hürtgenwald
In the mid-1980s, excavations on the castle hill, which is visible from afar due to its conical shape and is exactly 400 m high, proved that the former "Reichsburg Berinsteyn" castle was located there in the High Middle Ages between 1090 and 1198.
The "Krawutschketurm", named after the Eifel hiker Franz Krawutschke, offers a breathtaking view of the Eifel mountain ranges. From the edge of the parking lot, the view sweeps across the widening valley of the Rur with the Obermaubach reservoir over the edge of the Eifel to the Jülich Börde and the Cologne Bay.
