    Hiking

    In 1670, a two-story chapel with a dwelling was built on the Ravensberg hill, where several brothers subsequently lived. They lived by begging, some quite comfortably. And some of them are still said to have known how to celebrate. In 1833, the Archbishop of Cologne had the hermitage demolished to put an end to the unruly goings-on.

    The Ringelstein—a natural quartzite slab approximately 15 million years old—which can still be seen on the site today, served as the foundation for parts of the chapel. A wayside shrine, a memorial stone, and a boundary ditch also commemorate this period.

    The Hermitage stood here from 1670 to 1833. The Archbishop of Cologne had the building demolished.
