      A pleasant highlight on the Eifel Loop, through forest, water, meadows, and expanses, is the Matron Temple near Hirschberg. Here, several information panels introduce the Roman past. Remains of the temple walls have been partially reconstructed.

      The revelatory inscription on many votive stones, V.S.L.M. = votum solvit libens merito (he redeemed the vow gladly and duly), means that the donor of the stone had entered into a contract with the Matrons. He promised the goddesses a votive stone if they fulfilled his request. Like all the other donors, he did not publicly disclose the nature of this request (sophie-lange.de/matronenkult-und-kultplaetze/koeln-das-hohe-ansehen-des-matronenkults-zur-roemer/index.php).
