The church, built in the late 18th century, is Kleinich's landmark. The early Romanesque bell tower was preserved from a previous building. Inside, the fascinating organ, built in 1809 by the renowned Hunsrück organ-building family Stumm, is a must-see.

In summer, a nice insider tip to relax after hiking the Kirchspiel’s Valley Tour.

The burial ground was once laid out by the Celts to the left and right of the Iron Age road that can be seen here. Later, Roman pioneers moved the route a little to the south, above the burial ground, exactly where the country road runs today. Among other things, it connected Belginum with the then important metropolis of Trier.

Small cave that you can tread carefully (clammy, slippery, there is sometimes water in it). The illumination with the mobile phone is completely sufficient, the light yield for a mobile phone photo without a flash was even sufficient.

On the municipal border between Pilmeroth and Emmeroth, for example, you pass the Rotzekopp Hut on the Moselsteig Trail, a side trip to the parish's valley tour. The trail leads up along a beautiful, narrow path. Built in 1973 by the volunteer fire departments of both villages, it can now be rented for events after renovations in 2001. The complex consists of several fire pits and huts, as well as a stage. A campsite is located right next to it. The site on Rotzekopp is called the Kaisergarten (Emperor's Garden). Therefore, some of the seating areas on the grounds face the "Kaisereiche" (Emperor's Oak). Many locations and trees (especially the "German" oak) were dedicated to the German Emperor and the German Empire at the end of the 19th century. These names are gradually disappearing as many old oak trees reach the end of their lives and are felled.

Immediately after the start of the Moselsteig Seitensprung Kirchspiels Tälertour in the Hunsrück town of Kleinich, you reach a true "banking district" 😉. In addition to the large bench, there are two more benches, including a wave bench. It is still much too early to rest at this point, but you can still have a lot of fun taking photos, but also enjoying the fantastic view over the Hunsrück hills, as well as over the Moselle valley to the ridges of the Vulkaneifel.
