Schankweiler Klause Pilgrimage Chapel

The Schankweiler Klause is a pilgrimage chapel. From 1732 to 1733 it was rebuilt with a sumptuous high altar according to the plans of the Tyrolean master Joseph Dangel. A look inside the church is worthwhile.

The mighty wall that is still visible today is called "Viking Castle". But was not built by you, but thousands of years earlier. For more information, see the link below

Wikingenburg Picnic Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Here you can take your first short break. An information board explains the wall. Great for children who want to play at conquering a castle.

February 28, 2026,Schankweiler Klause – Schankweiler Klause Runde von Schankweiler

After a two-month break (seriously???) a wonderful start to the year. South Eifel Nature Park, Trail 52. On the ascent to the Schankweiler Klause, there were a few tree trunks lying across the path. But no problem. Great views, beautiful trails. Would gladly return to the area. Perhaps a different route next time.
