circular walk Oberweis - Bettingen

The trail starts at the church of Schleidweiler. The route leads along typical Eifel Houses. The path runs along the open terrain before it enters the forest. Past the old sandstone pits, the natural trail leads through an untouched part of the forest down to Daufenbach. The small town even has its own train station. Parallel to the Kyll the path leads over the cycle path to the district Mühlenflürchen. Take a deep breath before climbing the ascend. You will get rewarded with untouched nature with former quarries. The hidden waterfall at the end of this quiet woodland invites you to linger. The last stage will take you across the Eifelsteig, back to Schleidweiler.

Schneifel Trail

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)
