St. Antoni Chapel, Am Decke Tönnes

Highlight • Religious Site

The name ceiling Tönnes (Tönnes = Toni = Antonius) comes from a saint figure in a small chapel just below the highest point of the L234 directly to the right of the road.
A plaque at the chapel informs: “The wooden figure of St. Anthony of Egypt standing in this chapel is therefore called 'Tönnes ceiling' because it is larger than life and, before the chapel was built around 1900, stood freely on a high plinth. According to legend, a trading Jew or a farmer from the area built the chapel as a fulfillment of a vow. According to the restorer Brühl, who worked on the sculpture a few years ago on behalf of the parish Effelsberg and replaced missing parts - the left hand with the Bible and the shepherd's staff with the two bells - it was made in the late Middle Ages (15th / 16th century) probably built in Steinfeld Monastery. ... ”

Eschweiler Valley Quarry

Highlight • Natural Monument

The limestone hilltops are part of the Natura 2000 area in the Eschweiler Valley. It is very diverse and is particularly important for the biotope network in the Voreifel.
The entire Natura 2000 area extends over the northern part of the area between Eschweiler, Iversheim and Kalkar.
There are orchid-rich brome semi-dry grasslands, forest areas, bushes, poor grassland and quarries. The largest semi-dry grasslands are located on Kuttenberg and Wachendorfer Berg.
In addition, many animal species such as the green woodpecker, wood lizard, little kingfisher, slowworm, dipper, corncrake, eagle owl, kestrel, tree falcon, grass snake and sand lizard are at home there.

Heisterbacher Tor

Highlight • Historical Site

The Heisterbach Gate is located in the southwest and was due to be demolished in the 19th century. This was prevented. The overroom for the historic battlement was rebuilt. Today, the rooms house a jewelry store.

Historic Old Town of Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Historical Site

Bad Münstereifel is a historically grown romantic town with picturesque half-timbered houses, a lively pedestrian zone with attractive shops and many lively cafes along the Erft.

The historic center with its narrow streets and alleys can be reached via four historically significant city gates in the four directions. The castle complex towers above the city. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view over Bad Münstereifel.
The City Outlet has been located in the historic old town area since 2014. Here, too, it is worth taking a look or two.

Werther Gate, Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Monument

The Werther Gate, located in the north of the old town, is the youngest of the four city gates. It was rebuilt after it collapsed during a flood in 1416. On the exterior, above the arched portal, hang the coats of arms of the Duchy of Jülich and the city of Münstereifel. The building now houses the Natural History Museum.
