Agrippastrasse Matthiassäule and Pilgerstrasse

From the Irnicher Berg hill you have a wonderful view to the north on the route of Agrippastraße, which passes here. The old Roman road has been used as a pilgrimage route to the tomb of St. Matthias in Trier since the 12th century. From the very beginning, the monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias looked after pilgrims arriving, accommodated them and hosted them.

The Irnicher Berg marks the transition between two natural areas (Cologne Bay and foothills of the Eifel) and lies on the diocese border between Cologne and Aachen. Because of its view, it has always served as a resting place for pilgrims and hikers. St. Matthias Platz was built here in 2007; together with a five-meter high basalt column made of volcanic rock, it forms an open-air chapel. The square is dedicated to the late pilgrims, their quarters and the monks.

It's such a shame that everyone has to immortalize themselves with another highlight, even though there are already multiple highlights. Eventually, Komoot becomes completely cluttered.
