ハイトワイラーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

We ate here after our pilgrimage. It was plentiful and delicious.

Something like this, or something similar, once happened more than 300 years ago in the forest near Dierscheid: Johann Wilhelm von Dischet sat in a thick thorn hedge, holding his breath. Men with barking dogs walked close by. They were looking for him. They wanted his money, which he had earned from a cattle trade on the Moselle and which he had boasted about after a few glasses of wine at the inn in Hetzerath. The robbers walked by with their dogs, and Johann Wilhelm von Dischet breathed a sigh of relief. He had escaped once again. In gratitude, he erected a cross, the Hansen Cross. One day, however, the Hare Cross—or Hannes, as the cross is affectionately called—was missing for two months, despite a thorough search. Fortunately, it was found by chance in the forest on a sawn-off tree trunk and could be reattached to its original location.

Nice rest opportunity

It's a great place to take a break. There's a comfortable place to sit and a fountain. There's no sign saying you shouldn't drink the water, so it's probably fresh spring water. It tasted good and the water bottles we filled up there were well tolerated.

After about 12 kilometers on the 14th stage of the Eifelsteig, the Gasthof Rothaus is the ideal place to stop.

A little off the Eifelsteig we find this idyllic resting place. Nice place for a short break.

The municipality of Niersbach bought the house in 2010 and renovated it. The Niersbach-Greverath Foundation financed a significant part of the costs. In 2015, a small museum was set up in the former village smithy with the help of the local history and tourist association "Hedelischgippscha Greverath".
