A comfortable bench with a beautiful view—we enjoyed taking a chat break here early in the morning and enjoying the morning atmosphere!

The Afelskreuz (indulgence cross, mistakenly interpreted as the "Eifel Cross") stands on an old Roman military road. For centuries, pilgrims from the Bonn-Cologne region have traveled this route to the grave of the Apostle Saint Matthias in Trier. This path is therefore also popularly known as the Pilgrim's Route. Another name is the "Piglet Route," because farmers and traders drove their cattle along the Afelskreuz to the markets in Kelberg and Mehren until the 1830s. It is noteworthy that the cities of Trier and Cologne are equidistant from the Afelskreuz (Afelskreuz), some 90 kilometers away. The Romans already established a well-developed network of paths, which can still be seen today. Hörschhausen was a junction of several Roman-era paths and roads. There was also a path from Hörschhausen to Bongard, which crossed the main road between Uess and Lieser at the Afelskreuz.

A must for creative photos and a broad perspective

Nice signpost

The Mosbrucher Weiher is a silted-up maar at the foot of the Hochkelberg mountain. A moor formed from the shallow maar lake, from which peat was extracted for a long time. Today, it is a nature reserve, and efforts are being made to restore the moor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosbrucher_Weiher and information boards

For brave adventurers. With a little luck, you might spot fish in the water and ducks on the shore.

From here, you have a beautiful view of the silted-up Moosbrucher Maar, the third-largest maar in the West Eifel. The Üßbach stream originates here.
