Tips from the Community
Also called Mühlenweiher, the Mattheiser Weiher enchants with its many water lilies. A lap here in the early morning is particularly relaxing, when you can also observe the ducks and coypus having breakfast on the shore. Next door in the park, there is also a Calisthenics facility for sporting activities.

great fountain on the market square of the city of Konz, in front of the town hall. There is also one of 8 foot copies of a foot of the colossal statue of Constantine the Great, created for the Constantine exhibition in Trier in 2007. It reminded me of Uwe Seeler's big foot in front of the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.

The Church of Our Lady in Trier is located next to Trier Cathedral in the city center. It is considered the oldest Gothic church in Germany. The garden between the church and the cathedral is particularly fascinating. It is a magical yet tranquil place.
