The small mountain chapel below the Döhmberg is a nice place to stay. From up here you can see the village of Dockweiler with the winding Ahbach.

To the chronicle of the mountain chapel:

After the end of the war in 1945 there was a growing desire among the population for a place of prayer as thanks for the fact that the parish had been spared lasting war damage. The pastor at the time, Calsing, coordinated these first efforts and in 1948 the boundary between Betteldorf, Dockweiler and Dreis was chosen as the location for the chapel. A year later, cathedral builder Weyres received the order from Bonn to start planning the chapel. In the years 1949 and 1950 the chapel was built in-house. The Pieta by the sculptor Wilh. Tophinke from Brühl was donated privately. The blessing of the chapel in honor of the painful mother took place on July 2, 1950. On December 8, 1972, the original wooden figure was stolen. Since then, a plaster figure has stood here that was previously to be found on the left side altar of the parish church. Every year in May the processions from the three parish villages meet here for common May prayer.

The chapel is very well maintained and a very nice place to linger and pause for a moment.

In addition, you have a wonderful view of Dockweiler and the Eifel world from here. A bench in front of the chapel invites you to take a break.
