The Kellerberg rises in the Meulenwald forest, part of the Moselle Eifel. Its summit lies 0.5 km south-southeast of Dierscheid and belongs to its municipality; it is 2.2 km west-northwest of Erlenbach, in the municipality of Hetzerath, and 1.7 km north-northeast of Naurath in the county of Trier-Saarburg. Streams that rise on the hillside include the Weischbach and the Orschbach in the east, the Gitzertbach in the south-southwest and the Stahlbach in the west.
On topographic maps a spot height of 448.7 m[1] appears in the vicinity of the summit. On the Kellerberg are parts of the protected landscape of the Meulenwald and Trier Municipal Forest (Meulenwald und Stadtwald Trier), CDDA No. 322963; established 1990; 132.8046 km²).[2]
In 1999 the 21.7-metre-high Kellerberg Observation Tower was built in a modern wood and steel design. The covered tower has a triangular plan and consists of seven larch logs that are connected by metal strips. The whole structure is tension with steel cables.[3] Its observation platform is 18 metres high and offers views far across the Eifel and to the Hunsrück. For example, Klausen and its pilgrimage church may be seen.
