오버바이스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

This impressive waterfall is located just below the Mareingrotte.

The beautiful Mariengrotte (Grotto of the Virgin Mary) with the Albach waterfall is certainly one of the highlights of the 11th stage of the Felsenweg (Rock Trail).

In the immediate vicinity of the Mariengrotte (Grotto of St. Mary) we find this beautiful waterfall of the Albach River. A truly worthwhile photo opportunity.

Beautiful and wildly romantic, too bad there's no waterfall because of the drought...can someone turn on the tap? 😉

The menhir stands northwest of Ferschweiler in the forest at a crossroads of hiking trails. The Fraubillenkreuz is a menhir that is now about 3.30 meters high and has been reworked into the shape of a cross. It is estimated that it used to be over 4 meters high. The menhir was probably reworked into a cross during the Christianization of the region in the 9th century. According to legend, it was the Irish wandering monk St. Willibrord from the Echternach monastery himself who carved it. In addition, niches were carved into both flat sides of the menhir, apparently for figures of saints. Source: https://tw.strahlen.org/praehistorie/rheinlandpfalz/ferschweilerkreuz.html

At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut into the slope covered with beech trees at a considerable height. Here the rock of the middle Bunter sandstone from the Triassic period stands in bright orange-red colors. These deposits in river and delta areas are around 220 million years old.

The stream is mainly formed from the wastewater from the Bitburg sewage treatment plant. Odor nuisance cannot be ruled out under certain circumstances.

This historic cross on the path is over 2m high! There is a very nice opportunity to take a break here. Table and bench. There is also a small shelter nearby.
