A striking point in the Ahreifel is undoubtedly the Krausberg above Dernau. It is not only known for a hut run by the local branch of the Eifel Association, but also for the Krausberg Tower.

The EVA tower was built in 2004. In the meantime the trees around have grown so much that the view is obstructed.

Unfortunately, the trees have grown so tall that you can no longer see much of the all-round view. A refuge offers space to rest. Everything in good condition
