    There is a blackboard with helpful explanations. Not far from the road, the view to the horizon is also nice.

      The so-called Varnenum is the excavation site of a Gallo-Roman temple district near Kornelimünster. It is located about 300 meters east of St. Stephen's Church on a plateau called the “Schildchen”. It is a Roman temple district, the founding and first construction period of which dates back to the time around the birth of Christ. The first documented excavations were carried out at the site in 1907, 1911, 1923 and 1924. Another excavation carried out in 1986 and 1987 was preceded by magnetometer prospections from the RAB and a phosphate analytical soil investigation, the drilling grid area of which covered approximately 250,000 m² and thus extended very widely around the old excavation area.
