Today's church in Ettringen certainly had several predecessors at this point on the Kirchberg. In 1616 St. Maximinus is mentioned for the first time as patron. The foundation stone of today's church - according to plans by the Cologne architect Vinzenz Statz - was laid on June 9th, 1857 and 4 years later, on September 4th, 1861, the inauguration by Bishop Wilhelm Arnoldi took place.

Climb the 11m high "Dronketurm" on the Mäuseberg near the "Weinfeld Maar" and enjoy an incredible panoramic view over the GesundLand Vulkaneifel around Daun.

If you hike the "Pyrmonter Felsensteig" dream path, you will reach the highest point of the hike on the Sammetzkopf. The summit cross is visible from afar and is illuminated in the dark. The view from the Sammetzkopf over to Münstermaifeld with its imposing collegiate church and the volcanoes of the Eastern Eifel is also wide.

The stonecrosses along the "Oberweiser Kreuze-Weg" are provided with numbered information boards. The trail includes 12 stations and has a length of about 14 kilometres.

The rapids of the Prüm, known as the "Irrel Waterfalls", remain a fascinating natural spectacle even after the flood disaster of 2021. Crossing the river is once again possible via the new suspension bridge.
