Friedhof der Heimatlosen Memorial Cross and Bench, Boisdorf

Highlight • Monument

Only a cross remains to mark the former cemetery where generations of people found their (supposed) final resting place. But the cemetery, like the entire village, had to make way for the open-cast lignite mine.

September 29, 2023,2023-09-29 Rundtour Wanderparkplatz Marienfeld zum Papsthügel bei Kerpen

After planning, filling and preparing the hill on the flat Marienfeld for a year before his visit, Mr. Joseph A. Ratzinger (1927 - 2022) went up the hill in August 2005 and then looked down on the Marienfeld. I did the same today.

But while Mr. Ratzinger looked at 1.2 million young followers, I didn't see a single person.

The Boisdorfer Lake is a lake left over from open-cast mining that was created …

December 30, 2023,kleine Runde um den Boisdorfer See

Today a little walk around Lake Boisdorf. This is a former brown coal mining area. Very reminiscent of the Peringsmaar.
But you can hear the highway here all the time. The little birds worked really hard for this, it sounded like they already had spring!

October 24, 2021,Runde im Marienfeld

A bright blue sky on a Sunday naturally attracted many to Marienfeld. At the level of Haus Mödrath, on the access road, we found a rare parking space and from there a forest path along the small Erft. Afterwards, it was varied through recultivated forest and a wide field landscape. Our destination was the Pope's hill with thoughts of the …
