Hochkelberg

The Hochkelberg rises 674.9 meters above sea level, featuring dense beech forests covering its slopes and a transmission tower near its peak point.

The mountain originated as a stratovolcano that lay 200 meters below the surface until geological processes lifted and exposed its basaltic core structure.

The mountain slopes contain archaeological evidence of Roman civilization, with building remains indicating early human presence in this High Eifel region.

Visitors can access the summit through the marked trail Zum Hochkelberg, with parking facilities available at designated starting points near the base.

At the southern foot of Hochkelberg lies the Mosbrucher Weiher, a water-filled crater formed by volcanic explosions during the mountain's active period.
