Schornkapelle Schuld

The parish of St. Genovefa surrounds Obermendig, the upper part of the city, which was first mentioned in 1041. In 1365 the construction of a three-aisled hall church began and St. Genovefa and St. Laurentius consecrated.

Today's St. Hubertus Chapel, built in 1826, is centrally located in the center of the community of Acht at the corner of Hauptstraße and Am Kirchweg. In recent years, the chapel has been lovingly restored as part of a large number of building measures and is now a neat eye-catcher in the middle of the village.

Set in a dramatic landscape of woods interspersed with water, the Eifel National Park will allow you to experience the fascinating natural diversity of a wilderness at first hand. For in this large protection area some 65 kilometres southwest of Cologne, nature has been left once more to its own eternal cycle of growth and decay.

The Addene Jong, a memorial for the preservation of customs, is characteristic of the originality, social engagement, and humor & joy in the Adenauer Carnival.

Discover a small natural monument of a special kind on the outskirts of Bad Bertrich: the “Elfengrotte”, also called “Käsegrotte”. It originated a thousand years ago, when hot basalt currents flowed through the Üssbach valley and gave the valley a new shape. Located not far from the rushing Elbesbach waterfall, the Elfengrotte has a fairy-tale magic that you should explore.
