A very nice, quiet descent that should be enjoyed.

long and magnificent paved road in the heart of nature

In the Eifel region, there are still some very high and thick hedges that, in the past as now, provided protection against extreme weather conditions such as snow and storms. Since the Eifel is known for its harsh winters due to its altitude, this was a simple but labor-intensive solution.

This small stone chapel in Strauch was built by the villagers, but the exact dates of its construction are unclear. Originally, another building in Strauch served as a chapel from 1850 until it was expanded into a church (St. Matthias) in 1922 to serve the growing population.

The first church existed around 1700-1702; this became too small by 1900, and a new church was built between 1905 and 1907. In 1944, this church was blown up by German soldiers, and the current one was built in 1950. The sacristy was enlarged in 1963.

Beautiful routes & opportunity for a coffee break

Beautiful view of the castle on the hill.

The village of Woffelsbach, located on the northern shore of Lake Rur, has had its own church since 1912. On October 20, the chapel there was consecrated under the patronage of Saint Wendelinus. On the right side wall, in front of the sanctuary, a statue of him can be found—with a sheep at his feet, as he is considered the patron saint of livestock.
