Stone Wayside Cross in Vulkaneifel Geopark

Highlight • Monument

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads have been erected as visible signs and attract the looks of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "

Historical Nature Conservation Trail Pafenheck

Highlight • Trail

Unfortunately the nature trail is in very bad condition. Fallen trees, incomplete display boards, etc. Worth seeing, however, is the biotope and the bridge over it, which is surprisingly in a very good condition.

Historic Nature Conservation Trail Pafenheck

Highlight • Trail

This no nature conservation path was created immediately after the war to give birds nesting sites. It was constantly expanded and expanded and now offers a lot of animals nesting opportunities. Absolutely worth seeing. Small but nice....

Giant Douglas Firs in Lehwald Forest

Highlight • Forest

Some of the largest trees in Rhineland-Palatinate can be found in southwest Darscheid. Some of the huge Douglas fir trees in the Lehwald are more than 50 meters high. You can find details on the information board during the hike.

Information Boards on Forest and Birdlife – Darscheider Wald, Natur- und Geopark Vulkaneifel

Highlight • Rest Area

These information boards provide information about the recreational function of the forest and the native songbirds, among other things. Anyone who hikes along the Path of Biodiversity will pass by here and will experience both for themselves: the vocally species-rich chirping of birds as well as the peace and quiet of the forest.

Wayside Cross in Natur- und Geopark Vulkaneifel

Highlight • Monument

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
