デッツェムの天然記念物・トップ20

川の146キロ地点、Piesport市の地区であるReinsport村の向かい側に、かつては採掘も行われていたという印象的で険しい岩壁、Moselloreleyがあります。

St. Joseph's Chapel is located above Leiwen, offering an outstanding view of the Moselle Valley.

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."

Nice quiet place to take a break from hiking. Below the chapel is a barrel swing 🥰

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

A fantastic view from the Moselle cycle path

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.

Small chapel with a great view of Leiwen and the Moselle valley, there are many benches to linger. A nice place for a little break.
