From the large viewing terrace of Nideggen Youth Hostel, visitors can enjoy a unique view of the vast Rureifel landscape. The surrounding area is characterized by mighty red sandstone cliffs, green wooded hills, fertile meadows and small villages embedded in nature. Nideggen is not called "The gateway to the Eifel" for nothing.
