Sandstone Sculpture on the Nimstal Cycle Path

Highlight • Monument

The sandstone pillar consists of a block, but it looks as if it is composed of many layers of stone. Very interesting how something like that can be made.

Bitburg Air Base Control Tower

Highlight • Monument

The airfield, which opened on September 1, 1952 as Bitburg Air Base, was home to the 36th Fighter Wing of the US Air Force. Since the US Air Force withdrew, there have been several attempts to use it for aviation purposes. These ranged from the establishment of aircraft manufacturers to the operation of a maintenance airport. Unfortunately, the last deal to privatize the airfield fell through.
