The three Heidenköpfe are as follows – with height in metres (m) above sea level (NHN)[1]: The old Roman road from Trier to Cologne used to run through the wooded region between Heidenkopf I and III.

A section of this has been exposed together with the Vierherrenstein, a stone marker that lies on the boundary between the local parishes 620 metres southwest of Heidenkopf III.

[2] The B 51 runs past the Heidenköpfen to the northwest and west between Dahlem and Schmidtheim, and the B 421 to the southwest and south between Kyll and Jünkerath.

The Kreisstraße 67 branches off the latter in Jünkerath and runs northeast to Esch and then continues to Waldorf.

The Eifel Line (Eifel Railway) runs past the hills to the west through Schmidtheim, Dahlem and Jünkerath, from where the Venn Railway once branched off and headed for Belgium.
