Lampertstal — View of the Kalvarienberg

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

In this area, thoughts of Italy inevitably arise, because juniper bushes that look almost like cypresses grow here. There are also several old crossroads around this secluded spot. But the best thing is: In the middle of the landscape there is also an enchanted place, the Calvary. And here at the latest you can forget the world - at least for a moment. If you drive through the valley on the road, you have a beautiful view of "Tuscany in the Eifel".

Alendorf War Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such places - usually referred to as "war cemeteries" or "soldiers' cemeteries" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the many people buried here were by no means divorced in peace, but became victims of the war and an inhuman tyranny.
The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and – every generation anew (!) – to remind people of the lasting preservation of peace.

View from the Kalvarienberg, Alendorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Calvary is surrounded by a Stations of the Cross from the late Baroque era. A few hundred meters in the village of Alendorf, a small family cafe invites you to feast.

View of Alendorf and the Lampertstal from the Kalvarienberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Kalvarienberg is located in the middle of the juniper reserve "Lampertstal" in the municipality of Blankenheim. It is the largest contiguous juniper area in North Rhine-Westphalia. Pasque Flower, 31 species of orchid and gentians can be found on the juniper heaths. At an altitude of 517 meters above sea level, from Kalvarienberg you have a wonderful view over the rolling hills of the Dollendorf limestone basin to the volcanic cones of Aremberg, Hoher Acht and Nürburg.

Worth seeing church with a late Gothic nave and a high altar carved out of wood from 1630 ...
The tower is a little older and dates from the 12th or 13th century ...
