Katzensteine

Mechernich

In the "Mechernich Forest", which extends from the eastern city limits of Mechernich to Satzvey, the Katzensteine rise on the border with the Veybachaue near Katzvey.

The striking rock formation made of red sandstone natural rocks comes from a mighty river deposit that covered the entire Eifel approx. 220 million years ago. Over the course of millions of years, processes of uplift and subsidence in the earth's crust as well as rain, wind and frost have contributed to the current appearance. The resulting overhanging rocky areas offered natural protection from adverse weather conditions.

No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War.  These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament.  The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons.  At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.
