Aussichtspunkt "Zum Nitzblick"

Kirchwald

About 3 kilometers from the community of Kirchwald, the visitor gets an impressive view over the Nitz valley, which is located below the Kirchwald hills.

In Kirchwald, one must first follow the road "Zum Nitzblick" before a sign "Zum Nitzblick" appears on the right side. If you continue to follow the paved road, you will first come to the barbecue hut before you reach the lookout point via a forest path after about 100 meters.

From here the view goes to the highest mountain of the Eifel, the Hohe Acht (747 m), to the Nürburg (678 m) and the Nürburgring. In front of you is the valley of the Nitz, which has dug its bed past rugged rocks and is part of an FFH protected area as well as a bird sanctuary, which is impressively proven by the circling birds of prey above the Nitz valley.

From the forest lounger, a fantastic view of the surrounding untouched nature can be enjoyed. At any time of the year, there are wonderful impressions to experience. The first tender green in spring, the bright sunshine of summer, the colorful leaves in autumn or the first snow that lays its white dress over the trees in the valley.

Pfarrkirche St. Valerius, Baar-Wanderath

The verifiable building history of the parish church in Wanderath begins in the 13th century. The original church is Romanesque, around 1500 the late Gothic nave, today's aisle, was built with the help of the Counts of Virneburg, who were the patrons of the church. When the church was enlarged by a south and north aisle around 1530, the side walls of the old church were broken through. In 1655 Wanderath becomes an independent parish. These include the places Engeln, Büchel, Freilingen, Nitz, Ober- Mittel- and Niederbaar, Herresbach, Eschbach, Döttingen, Siebenbach and Drees. Virneburg was added at the beginning of the 19th century. For this, Drees is assigned to Welcherath. In 1896/1897 the current, neo-Gothic main nave was built. The two Gothic aisles are being demolished. In 1921/1922 the church was expanded again. The then octagonal sacristy was torn down and the current one built. The main nave was lengthened by 10 m and the gallery was built. The tower was raised by 6 meters. In addition, the church received a continuous roof area. Since then, the outward view has not changed. Since Wanderath only consisted of a church, a rectory, a school and a residential building until the middle of the 19th century, there are many legends and myths surrounding the question of why a church was built in the poor Wanderath at all.
