Eifel-Blick "Kierberg"
Simmerath
The Kierberg is 455 metres above sea level.
The view from here stretches far across Lake Rursee in an easterly direction into the Eifel National Park. According to the motto "Let nature be nature", typical deciduous forests develop in the Eifel National Park largely without human intervention. Many rare animal and plant species find a home in the extensive deciduous forest stands. Majestic beech forests, gnarled oaks and wild streams: visitors are offered spectacular impressions when they visit the national park. The national park can be experienced on your own or on an expert guided tour. The national park gates in the area provide information about the nature experience opportunities. The Rursee is the main lake of the approximately 24-kilometre-long Rur reservoir and the largest of the 9 reservoirs in the Eifel. It serves to regulate the water in the lower reaches of the Rur, to generate electricity, to provide service water and offers many opportunities for leisure and recreation.
How to get there: The Eifel-Blick is located directly on the L128 country road between Steckenborn and Woffelsbach. Coming from Steckenborn, the car park is on the right-hand side of the road. GPS coordinates (WGS 84): N50° 37.2675 E6° 22.03027
