The impressive structure of this open-air Stations of the Cross, beautifully embedded in nature a little above the village of Adenau, has two grottos: + At the beginning one with a depiction of Jesus' prayer on the Mount of Olives, + At the end one with a depiction of the burial of Jesus. In between, the well-known 14 Stations of the Cross are lined up along the Stations of the Cross.

This access to the volcano is well worth seeing.

The passage leads into the volcanic crater.
