Trier Main Market

Highlight • Historical Site

The main market of Trier is the central and one of the largest squares in the city.

It is located in the historic city center directly in front of the cathedral city in today's Mitte/Gartenfeld district. The most important urban commercial streets come together here. In 958, Archbishop Henry I equipped the main market with the market cross as a symbol of sovereignty. The main market was a place for selling goods and trading in the medieval city.

Porta Nigra

Highlight • Historical Site

The Porta Nigra is the best preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps - an incomparable connection between the ancient past and today's modern city. The old city gate dates from 170 AD, when the Romans liked to build public buildings out of large blocks. The Porta Nigra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention since 1986.

Biewertal Scenic Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

I suspect wrong Biewertal, as the Biewerbach flows in the neighboring valley. Nevertheless, whether wrong or not, it is a beautiful route along the edge of the forest, which is also used by the locals as a recreational area.

I drove the track as a departure from the FH / Drachenhaus. The route ends in the district of Biewer, from where you can easily find back to the Moselle.

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.

View of Ramstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ruins of Ramstein Castle stand on a 182 meter high red sandstone rock on the edge of the Meulenwald in the lower Kylltal near Kordel in Rhineland-Palatinate and are therefore of the hilltop castle type.

Built at the beginning of the 14th century by the Archbishop of Trier, Diether von Nassau, as the successor to a fortified estate, it was from then on an electoral Trier feudal castle, which was awarded to electoral subjects and cathedral deans. During the Palatinate War of Succession, the complex was occupied by French soldiers and blown up in 1689. There was no reconstruction. The successor building to the former courtyard house of the castle is now used as a hotel restaurant.

Kuckuckslay Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

More space in the tunnel - that's what Deutsche Bahn AG and Alfred Kunz's miners wish for during the tunnel widening work on the Kuckuckslay Tunnel in the Kyll Valley on the 2631 Kalscheueren - Ehrang near Trier railway line. Alfred Kunz Untertagebau and his partner are preparing the double-track, 450-metre-long Kuckuckslay railway tunnel from 1871 by widening the old tunnel structure from the imperial era for the expansion of the railway line to the modern track spacing of 4.00 m.
