The chapel was built to commemorate the victims of World War II. It was originally called the "War Memorial Chapel." It was consecrated on Ascension Day by Pastor Heinrich Kurtenbach. In 2006, tourists donated a statue of St. Joseph. The name "Josefsberg," however, has nothing to do with St. Joseph; rather, it derives from the local mayor, Josef Bartel, who had the "Ginsterberg" divided in 1900. Since then, it has been referred to as both "Josefsberg" and "Ginsterberg."

At first glance it looks like a waterfall. On closer inspection you can see that it is rubble. Very impressive.

Here you have a great view over the Moselle. The menhir has a legendary history. The imprint on the stone is said to be the hoofprint of a donkey. He pushed himself off the stone to save a princess fleeing from terrible knights. He jumped down to the Moselle and pushed off another stone. (It lies in the Moselle and can be seen at low tide and bears the same imprint) The donkey was able to land safely and the princess was saved from the henchmen.

A legend tells us: A Christian virgin, fleeing from a pagan knight, saved herself with her donkey at this spot by daring a leap into the valley. The donkey's hoofprint remained. The knight converted to Christianity upon witnessing the miracle. The stone, weighing several hundred pounds, lay flat for years and was re-erected here by the local community of Trittenheim during the land consolidation project of 1971-73.

The Sauerbrunnen is a carbonic mineral spring with a high iron content. The occurrence of this "acidic element" is associated with a geotectonic fault structure. Water and dissolved carbon dioxide rise from the deeper layers through fissures and faults. At a depth of approximately 10-20 cm, there is a layer of red iron, from which the slightly acidic water dissolves the mineral compounds, which settle on the surface as rust-colored spring sediment. The outflow area of the spring presents a very bizarre sight due to its reddish color and the mineral deposits on submerged roots and stones, a sight that one encounters several times on the way to the spring.

Imposing rock face, the dimensions of which only really become clear when you see how hikers are walking in it.

These rocks are known as Moselloreley. In the middle of the Moselloreley there is a tiny vineyard that can only be reached by boat. Worth seeing 👍🏻

Next to the chapel there is a little house that says: "Leiwener Kapellen-Quelle" Anyone who opens it will find a selection of local wines. Honest visitors can put the amount for a 0.25l bottle in a money box (four euros per bottle)
