Ortsgemeinde Langenfeld

Special attractions of the municipality of Langenfeld with about 670 inhabitants are the late Gothic pilgrimage chapel St. Jost, which was built around 1400, as well as the 3-tunnel visitor mine "Grube Bendisberg", which offers fantastic insights deep into the interior of the earth and brings old mining traditions to life.

Aussichtsplattform "Silbersandblick" am Hochsimmer

The viewing platform "Silbersandblick" is located on the western flank of the Hochsimmer near the hiking trail up to the Hochsimmerturm. The 26 m² wooden platform is equipped with 2 large benches and was created in summer 2020 by Josef Ackermann in cooperation with the forest and officially handed over to the local community of St. Johann. It offers a fantastic view of the name-giving pit "Silbersand", the Nitztal, the surrounding communities up to the Nürburg and the Hohe Acht.

Ortsgemeinde Monreal

Monreal, with around 785 residents, offers - as a former cloth-making town - not only beautiful half-timbered buildings, two picturesque castle ruins and the Elz river, but also lots of nature. The four-gabled house in the center of the village is particularly worth seeing, in which one can also make a marriage bond.
