Arnulphus Chapel (Heiligenhäuschen) near Walsdorf and Zilsdorf

Highlight • Religious Site

For a long time the Arnulphus Chapel stood high up on the mountain, visible from afar in a barren landscape. It was a place of faith for pilgrims who prayed for the health of their cattle and at the same time parish church for the villages of Walsdorf, Zilsdorf, Loogh, Stroheich and Orendorf. It was consecrated to Saint Arnulphus, the patron saint of millers and brewers. At the beginning of the 19th century the chapel fell into disrepair. Soon all the stones were removed and the bones of the deceased in the cemetery in Walsdorf were reburied. There is now a deep hole at the site of the former church. The mountain has given way to a basalt mine, which nature is now taking back after the work has ended.

The only reminder of the church was a processional cross on the way up. But in 1988 a saint's house was built next to it, again dedicated to Arnulphus, as a place of refuge for prayers and as a reminder of the former parish church.

Tunnel Entrance to the Volcano Crater

Highlight • Volcano

A little north of the two villages of Walsdorf and Zilsdorf is a highlight that every visitor to the Eifel with at least a little geological interest should have on their wish list: The Arensberg volcano. Since this is created separately (and unfortunately, multiple times in the komoot system), here is only the access, a tunnel of non-natural origin. A covered passage has been created to protect visitors from possible falling rocks.
