Abstract: After having investigated the packings derived by horo- and hyperballs related to simple frustum Coxeter orthoscheme tilings we consider the corresponding covering problems (briefly hyp-hor coverings) in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic spaces $mathbb{H}^n$ ($n=2,3$). We construct in the $2-$ and $3-$dimensional hyperbolic spaces hyp-hor coverings that are generated by simply truncated Coxeter orthocheme tilings and we determine their thinnest covering configurations and their densities. We prove that in the hyperbolic plane ($n=2$) the density of the above thinnest hyp-hor covering arbitrarily approximate the universal lower bound of the hypercycle or horocycle covering density $fracsqrt12pi$ and in $mathbb{H}^3$ the optimal configuration belongs to the $7,3,6$ Coxeter tiling with density $approx1.27297$ that is less than the previously known famous horosphere covering density $1.280$ due to L.~Fejes T'oth and K.~B"or"oczky. Moreover, we study the hyp-hor coverings in truncated orthosche-mes $p,3,6$ $(6<p<7,pinmathbbR)$ whose density function attains its minimum at parameter $papprox6.45962$ with density $approx1.26885$. That means that this locally optimal hyp-hor configuration provide smaller covering density than the former determined $approx1.27297$ but this hyp-hor packing configuration can not be extended to the entirety of hyperbolic space $mathbb{H}^3$.
