"The Schneifel is a region in the Eifel that was constantly alternating between war and peace. In doing so, it and its inhabitants overcame many borders - both internally and externally. Today, land and people between Kronenburg, Schwarzer Mann, Schönecken and Birresborn found her peace. Strengthened by her experiences. Again and again, limits in life challenge us to overcome them. Often it is only when we change our perspective that we realize whether they were supposedly a misfortune or even an enrichment. Encouraging on the path to peace Boundary stones at selected places on the hiking tour, to pause and think about yourself and your own (limitations)."

"War and peace were close together in the Schneifel. They left traces and at the same time shaped the strength and grace of the Eifel region. As deceptive as the hump line of the West Wall was at the time, it is just as peaceful today. Rare ones cavort under the protection of their remains Animals, extraordinary plants thrive. The Calvary was of a highly explosive nature at the time. Today, as one of the largest man-made craters of our time, it is a silent memorial to the turmoil of war. The border region with Belgium has many places of this kind. And right in the middle? The way of peace, of inner contemplation."

"(Daily) life is a constant up and down, a yes and a no, a forward and a backward. Once you have dared to step off a well-trodden path or crossed a border, you realize what new, unimagined possibilities and ways are revealed."
