ボイレン（ホッホヴァルト）の天然記念物・トップ20

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."

Reservoir, which can be comfortably walked around on wide paths (also suitable for strollers), beautiful views along the route included as well as the opportunity to stop off at Hau's am See (it is particularly nice on the terrace directly on the lake) and pedal boat rental included.

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

Along the wooden walkway there are many small information boards pointing out the flora and fauna that can be found here.

A few years ago beavers were spotted here again. Next to the habitat there is a nice little shelter that invites you to take a break and also offers an information board about beavers.

I found the dream loop that leads over a wooden footbridge through the Ehlesbruch more beautiful than expected. There are a few particularly nice places to sit here on the wooden pier.

A beautiful and informative trail through the moor.
