    Wide forest paths lead from the Alfbachtal to the Notkreuz. Here, too, in the Rudebuhrwald forest, an information board informs us that during the war years of 1944-1945, the residents of Darscheid had to seek refuge in the forest to escape the constant air raids. The wooden Notkreuz, erected here, serves to remind future generations of the horrors of war and to call for peace. Wide forest paths lead from the Notkreuz, via the adjacent HeimatSpur valleys and the Höhenweg (Heimat Trail), up to the Thommener Höhe. Here, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramas of the Volcanic Eifel.
