The place is strange. The French blew up a German bunker. During the demolition, the bunker ceiling rose vertically. Instead of making this place part of the culture of remembrance, Catholics erected a Way of the Cross in front of it. One has nothing to do with the other. And so it is a strange place with a penitent's bench and a cross and a Way of the Cross. It is not a place of remembrance, because the memory of war and devastation in the region has been maximally negated at this spot.

Schönecken Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle at 467 m above sea level above the municipality of the same name, Schönecken, in the Nimstal in the western Eifel (Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm) in Rhineland-Palatinate. The castle stood on the lowest ridge in the middle of a valley. The complex is protected by higher mountains on all sides. The Schönecken castle ruins are also called "Bella Costa" or "Clara Costa".

On a meadow (main street) there is an oversized seesaw on a 7 meter high mast: on one side is the body of an old VW Beetle, on the other side its engine and gearbox. The wind drives both gently rocking around in circles. And has been doing so since 2008. As part of an international sculpture exhibition by "Artemedia", the metal sculptor Herbert Kruft (his sculpture park in Niederprüm is always worth a visit!) installed the flying beetle at the entrance to Buchet. And there it still spins in the wind today, visible from afar, and causes astonished faces.

A very interesting place and therefore worth seeing. Great reminder of the circumstances of World War II.
