Tips from the Community
Something like this, or something similar, once happened more than 300 years ago in the forest near Dierscheid: Johann Wilhelm von Dischet sat in a thick thorn hedge, holding his breath. Men with barking dogs walked close by. They were looking for him. They wanted his money, which he had earned from a cattle trade on the Moselle and which he had boasted about after a few glasses of wine at the inn in Hetzerath. The robbers walked by with their dogs, and Johann Wilhelm von Dischet breathed a sigh of relief. He had escaped once again. In gratitude, he erected a cross, the Hansen Cross. One day, however, the Hare Cross—or Hannes, as the cross is affectionately called—was missing for two months, despite a thorough search. Fortunately, it was found by chance in the forest on a sawn-off tree trunk and could be reattached to its original location.

After the Thirty Years' War, in 1654, when hunger and misery reigned everywhere, the Naurathers built a chapel at great sacrifice. After 100 years, the chapel was too small and dilapidated, unfortunately there is nothing left of it today. In 1762, Pastor Bartholomäus from Cologne had today's nave built with Romanesque windows. The church was dedicated to Saint Elizabeth. In 1823 the walls were torn down and wall anchors had to be used. In 1900 the church had become too small again and under Pastor Ulmen the back wall was smashed in and the chancel with the sacristy was added. Source: Schweich Parish Community

The tower is still closed, a decision on how to proceed has not yet been made. Hikes through the eventful Meulenwald, even without climbing the tower, are always recommended.
