Daun - Bernkastel-Kues

This circular route leads through the mystical Bollendorf rock forest, past the absolute highlight of the route, the "Grüne Hölle" (Green Hell), as well as many other curious rock formations.

Located in Schmidt near Nideggen, right next to the Eifel National Park, the wildlife park is home to native wild animals, tame domestic and farm animal species and a naturally preserved plant world. The species-appropriate keeping of the animals and the very personal contact with our visitors are particularly close to our hearts. We want you to feel at home with us - at home in the Eifel.

The Bitburger LandGang " Between the bushes" around Idenheim, is characterized by the two forest areas "Großbüsch" and "Wehrbüsch". Walk through the woods with your eyes open.

In the winter of 1944/45, the Second World War raged in the area around Schmidt. Acts of violence and cruelty brought endless suffering to soldiers and civilians. When the killing came to an end in February 1945, what remained were ... Shattered forests, devastated settlements, war scrap and corpses. The seemingly apocalyptic scale of the destruction is no longer really imaginable today. And yet fragments of the horror remain, be it gloomy bunkers or gradually fading traces of deadly battles. Remnants of war material still come to light or skeletal remains of dead soldiers are recovered. Memorials and crosses try to keep the memory of unspeakable suffering alive so that future generations can learn their lessons from a time of terror and violence. With the "Way of the Cross of Peace", the parish of St. Hubertus would like to remind us how fragile peace and freedom are. May the insight mature that readiness for reconciliation is the only right path to lasting peace; at all times and everywhere in the world. (TEXT: Bert van London,Konrad Schöller)
