Location

The Hochthürmerberg is located within the Ahr Hills (Ahr Eifel) south of the village of Houverath in the county of Euskirchen ni North Rhine-Westphalia and northeast of the village of Kirchsahr in the county of Ahrweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate. The state border runs roughly along the 440-metre contour line over the southern flank of the hill. The Hochthürmerberg's neighbouring hill is the Hasenberg.

Summit and viewing points

At the summit are the remains of a circular rampart. The summit dome is wooded and offers no views at all. However, from a section of the Ahr-Fen Way, which is located between Kirchsahr and Krälingen, there are views of the Hohe Acht, the Michelsberg, the Nürburg and even the Scharteberg and Döhmberg. Near Krälingen there is a good view of the region of the Middle and Lower Ahr; nearby rise the hills of Krausberg, Neuenahrer Berg and the neighbouring Hasenberg.
