The best running trails around Kommen

Okay, this thing is really interesting

Along with agriculture and livestock farming, the mills were not only one of the main sources of income in the Dhron Valley, but also the primary breadwinners of the population. They also shaped the upper Dhron Valley, as the use of hydropower was essential in pre-technological times. The "Heckenmühle" (Hedge Mill) here in the Waldbach Valley was already recorded on maps at the beginning of the 19th century. Since the miller families also farmed, the Waldbach stream ran through an open meadow valley at that time. For a long time, the mill was operated by a Hinzerath milling community. After World War II, the mill was abandoned. The bricks were gradually reused.

How long this cross has stood on the so-called "Totenweg" (Path of the Dead) and for what reason it was erected cannot be determined today. This section of the trail on the Dream Loop LandZeitTour is still commonly known as the "Totenweg" (Path of the Dead). For many centuries, until around 1835, the deceased from Hinzerath were buried in Bischofsdhron at the parish church because Hinzerath belonged to the local parish. The coffins were transported to Bischofsdhron by teams of cows or horses along this path, along fields or burial grounds. It was a long and arduous journey in those days, and incidents could certainly occur. One possible explanation for the location of the cross is that an accident occurred here during the transport of a body. Another story says that there was a fatal industrial accident in the nearby small quarry (about 100 meters to the west). But perhaps the cross was erected as a memorial on the so-called "Totenweg" (Path of the Dead) long ago.

Beautiful castle ruins, a great dream loop starts here. But it's still worth a visit.

Very nice little bridge in the middle of the meadow at the castle ruins

Beautiful newly designed dream bow. Especially family-friendly, great places to rest and eventful for children.

Cross on the "Way of the Dead" How long this cross has stood here and for what reason it was erected can no longer be determined today. The path, which has been part of the "LandZeitTour" dream loop for several years, is still known today as the "path of the dead". For many centuries, up until about 1835, the deceased from Hinzerath were buried in the bishop's chronicle at the parish church, because Hinzerath belonged to the parish there. The coffins were transported along this path to Bischofsdhron on farm wagons or death wagons, drawn by teams of cows or horses. An arduous and long way, on which it was quite possible for incidents to occur. A possible explanation for the location of the cross is that there was an accident during the transport of the corpse. Another story says that there was a fatal accident at work in the nearby small quarry (about 100 m to the west). But perhaps the cross was erected a long time ago as a memorial on the so-called "Way of the Dead". June 2019 Heimatverein Hinzerath e.V. (text - information board)
