Currently very difficult to drive due to trees lying across the road.

October is probably not a good time to buy honey, the box was empty

Especially pleasant when it's very hot🥵

What can I say? Simply home☺️

Just outside the village of Herresbach, but still within sight of the village, this charming little chapel was built in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A plaque above the entrance door and another next to the shrine invite passing hikers and walkers to take a brief spiritual rest at this spot.

"Matthias is counted among the apostles because the lot fell on him. He replaces Judas Iscariot in the list of the Twelve. It's about the number twelve. At the beginning of his public ministry, Jesus had twelve apostles, one of whom fell away from him and betrayed him. The people of Israel were founded by the twelve sons (and tribes) of Jacob; the new people of God is built on the foundation of the apostles. ... Empress Helena brought the relics of Matthias to Trier, so there is also an apostle's tomb on our side of the Alps, to which many people still make pilgrimages today. Matthias reminds us of our calling, which did not happen by chance, but at the call of God." (KOLPING Diocesan President Peter Jansen, Velbert)

The Brünnchen leads through a spring area from which the municipality of Herschbroich used to get its water.

The Boos Double Maar consists of two silted-up maars, which today appear as shallow depressions in the terrain. They are located within the municipality of Boos. The two maars formed between 10,150 and 14,160 years ago and belong to the Quaternary volcanic field of the Volcanic Eifel. The two maars form large, circular basins surrounded by tuff embankments. They lie on a west-southwest-east-northeast trend, thus following the Variscan strike of the subsurface. The west-southwest maar has a diameter of approximately 700 m and a depth of between 30 and 60 m; the east-northeast maar is between 650 and 700 m and a depth of between 50 and 87 m. Both depressions are very humid, so there are still areas that have a permanent water surface. The waters were formerly used as fish ponds, but later silted up and served as meadows and fields. Today, there is once again a fish pond in the west-southwestern part of the maar, the Booser Weiher. In the vicinity of the maars, there are tuff pits where the volcanic tuff formed during the eruption of the maars was mined. Very beautiful nature.
