View of the Alter Voß from the tower
The Dietzenley rises within the Volcanic Eifel Nature Park in the parish of Gerolstein north and above the Gerolstein quarter of Büscheich-Niedereich.
On the largely wooded domed summit stands a small, wooden observation tower, which offers a good view of the Volcanic Eifel. Somewhat below it there is an electrical convertor and the remains of a Celtic ringwall.
The Dietzenley may be reached on footpaths from Gerolstein, Pelm or Gees.
