The Hirschley is located at an altitude of 512 meters above sea level. From here, you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of Lake Rursee and the steep slopes of the northern shore.
At 658 meters above sea level, the Steling is the highest elevation in the Aachen city region. The excellent visibility was the reason why there was once even a fire watch tower on the Steling, and the view extends far to the east over the Eifel National Park.
In 1877 the so-called Kaiserbahnhof was built in Mendig. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful historical buildings in the Mendig region. The building was named because Kaiser Wilhelm II is said to have used it as a starting point for visits to Eifel maneuvers.
