Pope John Paul II expressed the following thoughts during the Stations of the Cross in the year 2000 in the Colosseum in Rome, which may also be of interest to those passing by here in front of this wayside cross (crucifix): "Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory?" (Luke 24:26). At the end of the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum, we ask ourselves the same question. (...) Dear sisters and brothers! The people of today need an encounter with the crucified and risen Jesus! Who, if not the divinely condemned One, can fully understand the suffering of the one who is unjustly condemned? Who, if not the mocked and humiliated King, can answer the expectations of the many men and women who are without hope and degraded? Who, if not the crucified Son of God, can understand the pain and abandonment of the many people who despair of life because they have no future ahead of them?" (Pope John Paul II)

In Bolsdorf, a small village a few kilometers from the center of Hillesheim, which hikers or walkers can reach, for example, via a path through the "Bolsdorf Valley," there is a beautifully maintained chapel. The church has been entrusted to Saint Margaret as its patron saint. Visitors will find her statue on the left side wall in front of the apse. She holds a palm branch in one hand, the symbol of martyrdom in Christian iconography. Opposite her on the right side wall is Anthony of Padua, dressed in the classic Franciscan habit. The keystone on the ceiling of the nave displays several dates—the oldest, 1505, the consecration date—and in the center, the Lamb of God with the victorious banner, a symbol of the conquest of death and suffering.

Starting from Hillesheim, the so-called "Bolsdorfer Tälchen" is a popular destination for walkers or hikers who just want to take a short stroll (although the path is also shared with cyclists). On a longer hike, the route can be easily planned as a stopover.

A mini-museum would be an even better description. While walking or hiking in the Bolsdorf Valley, you almost inevitably pass by it. A glimpse through the window was possible.

In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

Here you can clearly see the lava layers of the former Rockeskyller Kopf volcano.

Situated slightly higher up, you have an impressive view of the Lacarube at Rockeskyller Kopf.

This place is on the 9th stage of the Eifelsteig. https://youtu.be/N70Jlu7ITRU
