Description

Experience the highest elevation in the Eifel up close: the circular trail around the Hohe Acht offers impressive nature, sweeping views from the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower and varied hiking trails through forests and over heights."


With a height of 747 meters, the Hohe Acht presents itself majestically in the landscape and offers a beautiful walk around this impressive former tertiary volcano. An unforgettable experience that takes you through dense forests, over rolling hills and to the breathtaking viewpoint on the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower. Here, the fabulous panoramic view over the multifaceted volcanic landscape makes up for the arduous climb. Pristine nature and solidified basalt columns bear witness to the volcanic past, which is illustrated on clear information boards. Mainly wide forest paths alternate with narrow paths.

The route is marked throughout with the trail logo H3 of the town of Adenau and starts at the Hohe Acht hiking parking lot on the L10 between Adenau and Jammelshofen.
