Kapelle St. Apollonia in Hirten

The volcanic dome of the Barsberg created in the Tertiary was the highest elevation (600 m) in the vicinity and particularly suitable for the construction of a ring wall system. Their builders deliberately chose the location and were guided by the natural conditions.

Shortly before the Second World War, this anti-tank line formed from concrete humps was built. Part of the cusp line can be seen at Großkampenberg.

Arenberg castle ruin

The narrow streets of Monreal, its quaint Holy Trinity Church, the massive Nepomuk Bridge over the clear flowing Elzbach and the ruins of Löwenburg and Philippsburg castles high above the town are a perfect destination for an excursion in the eastern Eifel. The red and white half-timbered houses nestle closely together in the former cloth-making town. Not only visually is Monreal an excursion destination that relaxes the soul. Café Plüsch with its cosy interior or the former signal box at the gates of the town are perfect addresses for foodies. The highlight for lovers of handicrafts is the pottery in the old school. Hikers get their money's worth on the Monrealer Ritterschlag hiking trail and are rewarded for the sometimes steep passages with wonderful views.

The pyre is experience point No. 4 on the hike "Witches, Executioners & Rascals".
