The quaternary volcano Goldberg, northeast of the municipality Ormont, is the northwesternmost foothill of the quaternary volcanic field in the Westeifel.The volcano is 649.1 meters above normal zero. The Goldberg was formed about 10 to 11,000 years ago in two eruptions. First, a large ash cone was formed. The second eruption phase began after a short time, which at first exploded the top of the old cinder cone with a strong explosion. Then again a cinder cone was built up on the leftovers and the activity ceased after a certain time.

On the site of St. Vitus Chapel was probably also a small church in the 9th century, as indicated by soil finds in 1919. Witnesses of a medieval building, which was replaced by the choir chapel in 1718, are the two bells from 1711 and 1713. An ogival triumphal arch with capitals and pedestals separates the chapel from the nave, which was added only in 1785. The chapel, today a sight to see.
