Eifel Cross

Highlight • Monument

A centuries-old tree, the “thick beech”, stood here at the intersection of various local hiking trails with the main hiking trail 4, the Josef-Schramm-Weg. When it had to be struck by lightning and then felled, the Trier hiking warden Peter Zimmer took the initiative at the beginning of the 1960s and, on behalf of the local group, had a six meter high wooden cross erected at the same place in the forest. In January 1964, the first Eifel Cross was inaugurated as a memorial for all deceased members of the association, which is commemorated annually on a November Sunday.

Over the decades, the wooden cross weathered, which is why it was renewed in July 2010 and inaugurated on November 17th as part of a hike with the memorial of the dead by Deacon Wilhelm Kunzem from Ehrang.

Longuich sour well and refuge

Highlight • Natural Monument

"He who has time and leisure, let him drink his fill from the fountain," reads the old inscription. People with a nickel allergy should not drink from this fountain. I dared to try it: The water really bubbles on the tongue, and the taste takes some getting used to. The iron content is clearly noticeable, no wonder given the reddish color.

This beautiful hut stands a little above the path. You have a nice overview and thanks to the roof you stay dry even when it rains.

The shelter offers protection in all weathers and enough space for a larger group. There is also a barbecue area and a seating area.

https://www.tourenplaner-rheinland-pfalz.de/de/huette/schutzhuette-rupperoth/58178316 The Rupperoth refuge is located on the Schweich-Mehring stage of the Moselsteig and is accessible at any time. It can also be booked for children's birthday parties etc. through the Schweich city administration. I found this barbecue hut directory.
