The Dietzenley in the county of Vulkaneifel in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate is a mountain, 617.6 m above sea level (NHN), and the highest point in the Pelm Forest, a part of the Volcanic Eifel range.
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 converter and the remains of a Celtic ringwall.
The Dietzenley may be reached on footpaths from Gerolstein, Pelm or Gees.
