Antoniuskapelle in Kottenheim

Near the Kyll Valley lies the imposing and legendary Genoveva Cave. The premium hiking trails Eifelsteig and Römerpfad guide hikers to this spot in the middle of an enchanted forest. Over millions of years, the forces of nature carved the shell-shaped cave out of the massive rock. Since the Stone Age, it has offered people shelter from the elements and wild animals. According to legend, Genoveva, the doomed wife of Count Palatine Siegried, also found a safe hiding place here for many years. 

The three caves are located at Mühlenberg, north of Hohenfels-Essingen.

The Rengen "Drees", located on the outskirts of the village in the fields, was part of the village's customs for many years. The spring water bubbles out of a captured spring - you are welcome to try it.

The existence of the village Birresborn was documented for the first time in 721. The name "Birgisburias" can be translated as "good source".Numerous finds in the area of the source evidence that this source was already known to the Romans.

From this location (540 metres above sea level) you have a wonderful view over the Ahr and Eifel landscape in good weather.
