Top 20 Natural Monuments around Morscheid

For me, "Frau Holle" was always the kind old lady shaking out down comforters. This "Frau Holle" with her hollow eyes gazing out of the rock, however, goes back to the Celtic/Germanic legendary figure who was declared a demon during the Christianization process.

Reservoir, which can be comfortably walked around on wide paths (also suitable for strollers), beautiful views along the route included as well as the opportunity to stop off at Hau's am See (it is particularly nice on the terrace directly on the lake) and pedal boat rental included.

Very beautiful rock formation at the beginning of the dream loop.

The St. George's Fountain on the Kornmarkt is conspicuously visible - no one can miss it here. The fountain was built by the city in 1750 in honor of Archbishop Franz Georg von Schönborn. The fountain was designed by Johannes Seiz, a student of Balthasar Neumann. The sculptural work comes from Amlinger. Surrounded by the allegorical figures of the four seasons, the fountain column in the shape of an obelisk rises in the wide basin. On his platform, St. George finally the dragon. The other dragons at the base, on the other hand, are condemned to spew water. The fountain is almost eleven meters high in total, the dragon slayer George alone measures almost two meters.

The Saint George Fountain (Georgsbrunnen for short) is a fountain in the Mitte/Gartenfeld district of Trier. It is considered one of the most beautiful rococo fountains in Germany. It is located on the Kornmarkt in the old town. The Sankt Georgsbrunnen was built between 1750 and 1751 according to plans by the court architect Johannes Seiz, the builder of the Electoral Palace, in honor of the sovereign Elector Franz Georg von Schönborn with depictions of the seasons and Saint George. Like the Petrusbrunnen on the main market, it was fed by the Heiligkreuzer Daufborn, known today as the Herrenbrünnchen, until the 19th century. The top of the fountain is about eleven meters high. The numerous, now empty cartouches at the fountain probably originally bore the painted coat of arms of the Trier councillors. In order to avoid contamination of the water, the fountain was surrounded by an iron grating, which was removed in the early 20th century. When it was erected, the fountain stood further east on the square, in front of the old town hall, which was destroyed in World War II. Like this, the fountain was also badly damaged by air raids, so that the restoration after the war was very expensive and large parts of the fountain had to be reconstructed. On this occasion, the fountain was moved to its current location. It was last restored as part of the renovation of the Kornmarkt in 2003, and a move back to the original location was also considered. For financial reasons and because the buildings around the old site had been modernized after the Second World War, which did not necessarily improve the effect of the fountain, the plan was ultimately abandoned.

Sirzenicher Gorge is beautiful. You have to cross the creek several times. If that is too difficult, you can also choose the easy path nearby.
