In the winter of 1944/45, the Second World War raged in the area around Schmidt. Acts of violence and cruelty brought endless suffering to soldiers and civilians. When the killing came to an end in February 1945, what remained were ... Shattered forests, devastated settlements, war scrap and corpses. The seemingly apocalyptic scale of the destruction is no longer really imaginable today. And yet fragments of the horror remain, be it gloomy bunkers or gradually fading traces of deadly battles. Remnants of war material still come to light or skeletal remains of dead soldiers are recovered. Memorials and crosses try to keep the memory of unspeakable suffering alive so that future generations can learn their lessons from a time of terror and violence. With the "Way of the Cross of Peace", the parish of St. Hubertus would like to remind us how fragile peace and freedom are. May the insight mature that readiness for reconciliation is the only right path to lasting peace; at all times and everywhere in the world. (TEXT: Bert van London,Konrad Schöller)

Klausnerweg Route

The loop trail starts at the church in Trierweiler. From there, you walk through the lively village towards Grewenich. Arriving at the top of "Michelhölzchen", the view compensates the exhausting ascend. The view crosses plains in the direction of Udelfangen and the Sauer Valley. The further route leads down into the valley, along the Trierweilerer stream. This lovingly arranged gem invites you to linger. It´s worth a visit, in case it´s open. From there, head towards the motorway. The elevation reveals another view of Trierweiler. You return back to the starting point by walking along the beautiful park.
