Discovered unexpectedly among the trees: the dome of the Irsch Observatory, surrounded by solar panels and nature. A tranquil place of science – right in the middle of a hike. Here, technology, energy, and curiosity converge. Even in daylight, you can feel the desire to gaze beyond the horizon.

🌌 Tip: Check in advance – there are often guided tours or public observation evenings. The place is worth a visit not only in sunshine, but especially by starlight.

Stone wayside cross in the Eifel

Highlight • Monument

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were 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 hope 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. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
