Hiking

Like many other social trends, the culture of the dead and forms of burial are also changing. Instead of the classic local village (or district) cemetery with row or urn graves, some people prefer a place like this natural burial site Moselhöhe Valwigerberg (that's the official name, usually simply referred to as "forest cemetery") as a "final resting place". Small signs are usually attached to the trees with the names of those buried there.

Above Valwigerberg there is a view of the Moselle loop called the iron mast (former electricity pylon)
