Hohe Acht, Volcanic summit in Adenau, Germany
The Hohe Acht rises 747 meters above sea level, forming the highest elevation point in the Eifel region with its basalt peak and sandstone base.
Between 1908 and 1909, workers constructed the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower using local stone materials at a cost of 18,000 gold marks.
The Kaiser Wilhelm Tower stands as a monument to commemorate the silver wedding anniversary of Kaiser Wilhelm II and Empress Auguste Viktoria.
The circular hiking trail spans 25.6 kilometers from Dr.-Creutz-Platz in Adenau through forest paths and alongside the Nürburgring racing circuit.
From the observation tower, visitors can see the Siebengebirge mountains and Cologne Cathedral during clear weather conditions.
