The beaver valley mentioned here is actually the Alfbachtal, but that doesn't change the fact that beavers live here and that you cycle through beautiful nature.

The memorial with its many thank you plaques is always a popular place of worship. Every year on a May Sunday there is a procession from the parish church to the Marian column. In 1998 the parish community celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Marian Column with several hundred believers. In recent years, the taller trees have increasingly blocked the view of the Marian Column. In 2004, the Board of Trustees of today's Gerhard Faber Foundation took on the task of redesigning the entire complex. In cooperation with the local population, the square around the Marian Column was completely renovated. Source: https://www.naturpark-suedeifel.de/a-mariensaeule
