At the edge of the pond near Val-Dieu Abbey stands the José Schyns observation hut, a peaceful spot where you can experience nature undisturbed. From the wooden hut, you have a beautiful view of the pond and the surrounding valley, ideal for observing birds and other animals in their natural habitat. The hut is named after José Schyns, a nature lover and bird conservationist who was committed to protecting and experiencing the wildlife in this region. It is a place that invites silence, mindfulness, and wonder.

The angel's greeting to the Mother of God begins with the words "Ave Maria, gratia plena" ("Hail Mary, full of grace") when he brings the heavenly message to Mary, who lives in Nazareth and is engaged to Joseph: namely, that she is to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The text, based on the Gospel of Luke, has become a widespread prayer that believers like to address to the Mother of God to invoke her intercession or to express their thanks.

The Reinartzhof was later built from the St. Reinart hospice, which was formerly located on the Reinart. However, the evacuation of the Reinartzhof was announced by royal decree on June 26, 1958. Reason: As the Reinartzhof settlement is in the catchment area of the Weser dam and there is therefore a risk of water pollution, it is expropriated and must be evacuated. Within three years, i.e. by 1961, the residents were to leave their farms. With heavy hearts, the farming families moved out of the isolated hamlet one after the other. "Be that as it may, the mild pressure from above, supported by appropriate compensation payments, caused one farmer after another to emigrate and find a new home and work somewhere at the foot of the High Fens." In 1971, even the picturesque Oberhof was set on fire, and what had been spared by the fire was reduced to rubble by pickaxes and bulldozers.

By the 20th century, a hermitage (13th century) on the old pilgrimage route between Aachen and Trier had become a small settlement of 3 farms and 6 families, the Reinartzhof. Located in the middle of the lonely Venn, the settlement was largely self-sufficient, without electricity or tap water.

This inn was founded in 1813 by the German tailor Michel-Henri Schmitz. It also served as a landmark in the midst of the extensive surrounding peat bogs, where travellers often got lost. On the facade of the house there is an old bell that was rung in earlier times when there was fog etc. to give the people of the Venn orientation.
