Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
August 19, 2026, Illerich Basalt Fountain with Reliefs

The fountain in Illerich presents itself with an imaginative design. In the Vulkaneifel, basalt was naturally the first choice as a building material. The column and the round basins, into which the refreshing "cool water" splashes, are decorated with beautiful reliefs.

Words about Saint Joseph, to whom this hermitage in Illerich is dedicated, can be found not only in religious texts but also in secular literature. For example, the popular writer Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), who is primarily known for his children's books, honored him in one of his stories as follows: "Saint Joseph was, from the ground up, a good and God-fearing man, otherwise the Holy Spirit would not have chosen him to be the husband of the Virgin Mary and the foster father of our Lord and Savior".

You should wear good shoes when hiking on this narrow, steep path. Sure-footedness is also an important requirement. 🧗🏽‍♂️. 🥾🥾
