The juniper heaths in Arft, Langscheid, and Virneburg are among the hidden treasures of the Vordereifel region. Their origins are the result of traditional "Schiffelwirtschaft" (ship-farming) – a special form of agriculture. Sheep and goats grazed here for many generations. Since fertilization was neglected for cost reasons, the soil became nutrient-poor over time. This created exceptional habitats that today provide a home for rare and protected animal and plant species.

"The tensioning station in Niederdürenbach was tasked with keeping wire ropes, some of which were freely spanned up to 300 m, taut. This required tons of weight. Huge wooden barrels filled with basalt stones kept both the support cable for the cable looms and the traction cable under tension. This made it easy to bridge the uneven terrain and also eliminated the need for support masts. An observation post for safety checks of the support and traction cables was set up on the 7 m long and 5 m high concrete pillar, on which a steel structure allowed the cable guidance and tensioning of the wire ropes. Of all the facilities of the former cable car between the quarry near Oberdürenbach and the crushing plant in Oberzissen, only this concrete pillar remains in its original form. Its surroundings were restored to their current state by volunteers in 2007. A silent witness to the industrial achievements of that time." https://www.niederduerenbach.de/kultur-tourismus/gehenswertes
