The Mosbrucher Weiher is a silted-up maar at the foot of the Hochkelberg mountain. A moor formed from the shallow maar lake, from which peat was extracted for a long time. Today, it is a nature reserve, and efforts are being made to restore the moor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosbrucher_Weiher and information boards

For brave adventurers. With a little luck, you might spot fish in the water and ducks on the shore.

From here, you have a beautiful view of the silted-up Moosbrucher Maar, the third-largest maar in the West Eifel. The Üßbach stream originates here.
