The Hochkelberg, is at 675 metres, one of the ten highest mountains in the Volcanic Eifel. It is a former layered volcano and the Mosbrucher pond lies at the south side . Below its summit, there is a transmitter tower now.
East of Bitburg, about 3 km away, lies the Albachtal in an idyllic limestone gorge. Stairs of natural stone (caution: danger of slipping) lead to the enchanted place of the Mariengrotte. Moss, ferns and clover line the path to the left and right. After a short time, the view of a waterfall and the Mariengrotte opens up.
