Kreuzauer Busch [73]
Kreuzau-Obermaubach
This hike takes you around the sleepy Eifel village of Obermaubach and offers beautiful views of the village and reservoir from the heights. The "Kreuzauer Busch" hike starts and ends in Obermaubach and leads around the approx. 400 m high Bovenberg, from where you can enjoy the most beautiful views of the village and the reservoir. Obermaubach has almost 1000 years of history. The county of "Molbach" was first mentioned in 1152. It was named after a mill. The old German term "Mole" is derived from the Latin "molo" for mill. A moated castle, the "Castrum Molbach", probably stood near today's mill from the 12th to 17th century. The name eventually changed from Molbach to Maubach. We follow the signposts 73.
