Der Traumpfad Bergheidenweg macht seinem Namen alle Ehre: Durch die offene Heidelandschaft führt der Weg in das Naturschutzgebiet Heidbüchel, an dessen Gipfel man eine wundervolle Fernsicht genießt. Es geht weiter entlang des Flusses Nette und anschließend ins Selbachtal mit seinen eindrucksvollen Klippen. Nach einer idyllischen Waldpassage und der Wanderung über weite Felder erwartet den Wanderer auf der nächsten Schutzhütte wiederum ein atemberaubendes Panorama. Kurz vor dem Ziel gilt es, den Raßberg zu umrunden

The three-story columned altar dates from the 18th century. In the niches of each level are figures of a Baroque guardian angel leading a child by the hand, of St. John of Nepomuk, and a Madonna. The Archangel Michael with sword and scales crowns the altar. In 2009, the saints' figures were extensively restored. Paul Clemen (1941) described them as "good craftsmanship of the 18th century." Clemen continues: "In the niche, a new figure, above it a good Baroque figure of ... Nepomuk ... at the end, a coarse Baroque figure of the Archangel Michael..." The "new figure" he refers to is possibly the guardian angel. The current altar figure probably stood in Kempenich at the time, because in Paul Clemen's (1941) work, the figure can be seen on page 256 as illustration 213.

The church's patron saint suggests its great age. It was first mentioned in 1330 in the Taxa generalis of the Archdiocese of Trier. The Romanesque west tower dates to the beginning of the 13th century. The core of the nave, which still stands today, was built around 1470. Around 1728, the choir was enlarged, and a sacristy was added to the south side of the east bay of the nave. Along with other minor alterations over time, the expansion between 1904 and 1906 was the most significant. Under the direction of the Bonn architect Johann Adam Rüppel, the northern aisle was renovated and a southern aisle was added. This created the current four-aisled hall church. In 1919, the western gallery was built from tuff stone in neo-Gothic style.

The interior of the chapel is almost 11 meters long and 5.25 meters wide. The Baroque wooden altarpiece comes from the Dominican Church in Koblenz. The altarpiece features paintings of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The saints are arranged in two rows. The Fourteen Holy Helpers are the patron saints of the Kempenich district. The chapel contains wooden figures of St. Bernardine, a Dominican monk, and St. Catherine of Sienna. In front of the chapel stands a carillon that chimes four times a day.
