Anyone wondering why the church was built in such a remote location might enjoy the legend surrounding the church building in Hilgerath: https://www.sarmersbach.de/sagenhaftes-hilgerath/

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.

Nice little niche for grilling without being seen

A great climbing idea - not just for kids ;-) The net is part of the forest nature trail in Kehlberg - here you can also try out a forest xylograph, a tree telephone, or compare your long-jumping skills with animals.

Which animal jumps how far - and how far can you jump? Here, children can playfully compete with the long jumpers from the local nature. But even as an adult you can be amazed at how far a fox or a wild boar can jump, for example. This station is part of the forest nature trail.

A wonderful rest area near the Gelenbacher Drees (Mofette). Pure nature!!!

Directly at the Roman villa there are seating and a table that invite you to linger. In sunny weather you should note that there is no shade and you are exposed to the sun
