Simonskall

Simonskall is a district of Hürtgenwald and is located directly on the former Westwall, the Allied defensive line along the western border of the German Reich. There are some reminders here. Of course the monument in place. But also the many bunker facilities that you can still find in the countryside between the bushes or the Kall Trail, on the former tanks instead of bikes rolled. Today Simonskall is a recognized resort, has a few pensions and restaurants and ends here the trails of the mountain bike park Hürtgenwald.

Simonskall is a nice little place in the Kall valley. It can only be recommended as a destination or starting point for many hikes and bike tours. Pretty old and new houses as well as small restaurants and cafés complete the visit.

Simonskall got its name after the founding of this ironworks in the Kalltal by the founder Simon Kremer in 1617.
In 1816 the ironworks was finally shut down for economic reasons. Today the "Haus des Gastes" is housed there. eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/simonskall.html
