쉬운 카일 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

In front of this small, sacred monument—with its special dedication as a PEACE CROSS—I would like to offer the viewer a short text by Christiane Völkel, who personally describes the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Philippi as "one of the beautiful passages that always touches my heart." Paul writes: "Do not be anxious about anything, but with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ." (Philippians 4:6-7) She comments as follows: "You really have to let these two sentences sink in word for word! They contain everything of 'Good News' (...) And another beautiful aspect that moves me in the second sentence: It says that prayer accomplishes something. Namely, finding peace within oneself and walking one's path in life from fellowship with Jesus."

A lovely little tour. And with a bit of luck, you can stop off at Villa Margareta.

Leaving the Eifel village of Brieden heading south along County Road 20, hikers and walkers inevitably pass this open chapel. It's a modern building made of natural stone, perhaps replacing an older predecessor—though this is beyond my knowledge.

This beautifully maintained little chapel is located in the Eifel village of Kail, not far from the parish church. The saint's figure standing in the apse, protected by a grille, is clearly recognizable as a monk of the Franciscan order—depicted in the typical brown habit and tonsure. He holds a cross in one hand and a book, the Holy Scripture, in the other. However, this one depicts Saint Anthony, not the founder (Saint Francis of Assisi).

As in almost every village (not just in Germany), hikers and walkers in the Eifel village of Kail will encounter a memorial honoring the victims of both World Wars. It is located within a small green area between the main portal of the parish church of St. Bartholomew (if interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/377751 ) and a small, artificially constructed rock formation at the other end of the meadow, featuring a statue of the Virgin Mary and Saint Bernadette (the so-called "Lourdes Grotto"). Plaques list the names of the victims who came from Kail and did not survive the First and Second World Wars.

The venerated statue of the Virgin Mary, placed here in a man-made grotto next to the parish church of Kail (if interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/377751 ), is the statue of the Virgin Mary from Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited annually by large numbers of people, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Virgin Mary has become widespread – not only in France – with believers building Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere.

The mill, romantically situated in the Pommernbach Valley, was originally built to harness the natural power of flowing water. Now, thanks to a modern photovoltaic system, it also harnesses solar power.

The small green area next to the church building in Kail - built in the neo-Gothic style and dedicated to Saint Bartholomew - is marked by a memorial commemorating the victims of both World Wars (https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7382031 ) and a replica of the Lourdes Grotto (https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7382017 ).
