Pedestrian bridge in the valley is no longer passable.

The cycle path between Kyllburg and St. Thomas is currently closed, you will be diverted via the road!

Great trail, miss the old covered wooden bridge but glad they replaced it after the flood!

Great autumn atmosphere in the Kyll Valley

Here you can watch really beautiful sunsets

When we hear of the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people in Germany probably automatically think back two thousand years to the time of Christ, because one of the twelve apostles Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the biblical accounts of the New Testament, he is nicknamed "Didymus," which means "twin" in German. In this case, however, the chosen patron of the former monastery and current retreat house—and also the namesake of this place in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm—refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118 to 1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his bishopric and martyrdom. Incidentally, Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually in the komoot system—at the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

Steep path up to Speicher.

At this point, the fighter pilot Claus von Bohlen und Halbach, a son of the Krupp family, crashed. There is also a memorial plaque for him in the neighboring chapel.
