Adlerbogen am Moltkefels can be found on the Donnersberg and has a breathtaking view of the Donnersberg region.

Adlerbogen am Moltkefels stands on the Donnersberg. It has a breathtaking view of the Donnersberg region. The monument was built in honour of Field Marshal Count Helmuth von Moltke and Chancellor of the Reich Otto von Bismarck. It was destroyed by Americans during the Second World War. Following extensive restoration in 2016, the Adlerbogen shines once more in new splendour.

A visit to Adlerbogen can be combined with various hikes on the Donnersberg. There are free parking spaces on the Donnersberg plateau or in Dannenfels, where you can start a circular hike.
