    On a hike to Richelsley, also known as the Cross in the Fens, you may also pass to the Ruitzhof settlement. There is a signposted rest area from which you have a wonderful view of the village of Kalterherberg with the Eifel cathedral.

      Beautiful nature trail with a connection to the Rosengasse, which unfortunately only extends over a length of approx. 100 m.

        Nice resting place with "Grenzer", who tells his story after a bit of cranking.
