Hiking

"With the blessing of Aachen Bishop Heinrich Mussinghoff from the Catholic Church and the secular approval of the Cologne district government, the first explicitly Catholic urn burial ground was inaugurated and opened in the middle of the Nöthener Kirchenwald in May 201. In order to prevent pantheistic ideas about continued life in the tree, in Nöthener "God's Forest is not buried directly under the beech and oak trees in the eleven hectare area, but on paths and paths between the trees".
(from the brochure)

On the various paths and paths through the Gotteswald you can discover numerous stone slabs and tree discs that commemorate the deceased. In addition, a cross can be found on every urn grave as a symbol of resurrection. outdooractive.com

The Gotteswald Nöthen is 11 hectares in size and was opened in May 2012 with the blessing of the Aachen bishop Heinrich Mussinghoff by the Catholic Church and the secular approval of the Cologne district government. Anonymous burials are not possible, each grave site is marked with a stone slab or a tree disc bearing the name of the deceased and a cross as a symbol of the resurrection.
