Geographically, the municipality of Shepherds with its approximately 270 inhabitants lies in the middle of the community of Vordereifel. In the centre of the village is the Apollonia Chapel.
The village of Kirchwald, with a population of 960, lies on a ridge between the Nette and Nitz valleys. From the Nette Valley, a winding road branches off just behind Bürresheim Castle and climbs to an elevation of about 500 meters. The “Nitzblick” lookout point is a must-see and a special highlight along the “Panorama Hiking Trail.”
The history of the community of Welschenbach and its around 50 residents is shaped by its proximity to Virneburg Castle. The idyllic place surrounded by meadows and forests is divided into the districts of Oberwelschenbach and Niederwelschenbach. The two baroque chapels are worth seeing, one each in Oberwelschenbach and one in Niederwelschenbach.

Ortsgemeinde Münk
Münk
Open today
The idyllic, wooded local community of Münk used to be a purely agricultural community and today has around 260 inhabitants in the midst of unspoilt nature. The district is tangent to the two brooks Mimbach and Eschbach. The striking center of the town is undisputedly the small chapel built in 1758 in honor of St. Hubertus.
