Absolutely idyllic. Many bridges, meadow paths and trails and always close to the stream.

I like to take a path that runs along a stream. At the beginning of the section, there was hardly any water to be seen. Further down towards the valley, the ditch carried a good amount of water (April)

Leaving the Eifel village of Brieden heading south along County Road 20, hikers and walkers inevitably pass this open chapel. It's a modern building made of natural stone, perhaps replacing an older predecessor—though this is beyond my knowledge.

This beautifully maintained little chapel is located in the Eifel village of Kail, not far from the parish church. The saint's figure standing in the apse, protected by a grille, is clearly recognizable as a monk of the Franciscan order—depicted in the typical brown habit and tonsure. He holds a cross in one hand and a book, the Holy Scripture, in the other. However, this one depicts Saint Anthony, not the founder (Saint Francis of Assisi).

As in almost every village (not just in Germany), hikers and walkers in the Eifel village of Kail will encounter a memorial honoring the victims of both World Wars. It is located within a small green area between the main portal of the parish church of St. Bartholomew (if interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/377751 ) and a small, artificially constructed rock formation at the other end of the meadow, featuring a statue of the Virgin Mary and Saint Bernadette (the so-called "Lourdes Grotto"). Plaques list the names of the victims who came from Kail and did not survive the First and Second World Wars.

The venerated statue of the Virgin Mary, placed here in a man-made grotto next to the parish church of Kail (if interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/377751 ), is the statue of the Virgin Mary from Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited annually by large numbers of people, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Virgin Mary has become widespread – not only in France – with believers building Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere.
