Half-timbered houses in Abenden

Highlight • Settlement

In the center of the village of Abenden there are several wayside crosses that differ in terms of form, expression and material. This one is on the facade of a half-timbered house. But all of these small sacred monuments, however diverse they may be, have one thing in common: the founders made their faith in Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord of the world, publicly visible.

Bench by the Rur

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice rest area right on the Rur with a bench and a table.
A small stream flows into the rest area and flows in a narrow valley between rocks
down into the Rur.
The hiking trail is a bit slippery.
It is wonderfully cool there in summer!
