Schönecker Burg

The former ducal town of Nideggen lies on the northern edge of the Eifel - high above the red sandstone cliffs visible from afar.

As the only conglomerate rock in the Monschauer Land, the immense, 80 metre-long Richelsley Rock lies on the edge of the High Fens. It was topped with a cross in 1890 to honour Prior Stephan Horrichem, the “Apostle of the High Fens”.

Ten pillars mark spots throughout Düren where people suffered at the hands of the Nazi dictatorship.

From the "Heidetümpel" biotope on the Kindgen, located above the local community of Arft, there is a wonderful view over the pristine landscape of the Vordereifel and unique juniper heather areas. A rest area with benches invites you to rest and relax as well as to observe characteristic animal and plant species.

The village fountain in front of the church used to be called the Celtic fountain.
