I like to take a path that runs along a stream. At the beginning of the section, there was hardly any water to be seen. Further down towards the valley, the ditch carried a good amount of water (April)

The chapel was built in 1856 as a small religious structure in the form of a wayside shrine and served the local population as a place of devotion and prayer. Over the decades, however, the building gradually fell into disrepair, was eventually abandoned and partially destroyed. Many years later, from the early 2000s onwards, the desire arose to restore the structure as a cultural and historical memorial. Through voluntary commitment and donations, the chapel was finally faithfully reconstructed, secured, and rebuilt.

Before you go up to the Römerwarte (stairs), there is a short but nice trail straight ahead, partly a bit overgrown and narrow, but definitely rideable. (Aug. 2025) This leads along the quarry down to a farm near the Nette.

A beautiful cycle path, with plenty to discover depending on the section. A detour off the cycle path is well worth it, especially before the first tunnel toward Polch.

This small, quarry-stone chapel stands quietly and majestically at the edge of the forest. Surrounded by tranquility, grass, and a Stations of the Cross, it invites not only believers to pause for a moment. 🕯 Tip: If you like, sit on the bench or walk around the chapel—even without religious connotations, it's a place for a quiet moment in nature.

The tunnel was part of the Maifeld Railway, a branch line of the Eifelquerbahn (Eifel Cross Railway), which was closed in the 1980s. Today, the tunnel is integrated into the Maifeld Cycle Path, which runs along former railway lines in the Maifeld region. The tunnel is paved and illuminated, making it attractive for both cyclists and hikers.
