Nice way to the castle. You have to walk a lot uphill. Unfortunately, the castle is fenced in, so you can't get to it directly. The path towards Bauler goes zig zak uphill and you are rewarded with a beautiful view. The rock path down to Vianden is okay on foot, but not suitable for beginners on a mountain bike.

Information boards tell you about the cultivation of river mussels here in the Our.

The memorial with its many thank you plaques is always a popular place of worship. Every year on a May Sunday there is a procession from the parish church to the Marian column. In 1998 the parish community celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Marian Column with several hundred believers. In recent years, the taller trees have increasingly blocked the view of the Marian Column. In 2004, the Board of Trustees of today's Gerhard Faber Foundation took on the task of redesigning the entire complex. In cooperation with the local population, the square around the Marian Column was completely renovated. Source: https://www.naturpark-suedeifel.de/a-mariensaeule

The Marian column stands high above Waxweiler

Above the castle complex is the pilgrimage site of the Neuburg citizens: The 46 cm tall Madonna, a replica of the Altötting Madonna from the 17th century donated by Kuno von Falkenstein, stands in a 700-year-old oak tree. Age and candle smoke have colored the statue of the Madonna dark brown, almost black. Station paintings of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, created by sculptor J. Hess in the 19th century, lead to this lonely pilgrimage site. https://neuerburg-eifel.de/index.php/stadt-neuerburg/wandern

The burning candles in the little chapel light up the tree opposite. At least that's how it looks when you approach in the dark from the other side of the creek valley.

Opposite the chapel there is an old tree with a holy picture built into a column.

Here you can pause and light a candle. Many small signs thank Maria for help!
