The Wetterpilz in the Wurmtal is a striking natural phenomenon and artistic object, notable for its unique shape and location in the Wurm Valley just south of Herzogenrath. The Wetterpilz, which literally means "weather mushroom," is often a sheltered path or small natural structure resembling a giant mushroom, making it both a landmark and a refuge for hikers.

The Wetterpilz stands amidst a diverse landscape of deciduous and coniferous forests along the Wurm River, which meanders through the valley. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to pause and enjoy the tranquility while simultaneously enjoying excellent views of the surrounding flora and fauna. The object often also reflects a playful element of landscape art, where natural forms and human imagination merge.
