Freestanding Bell Tower, Holy Cross Church

Highlight • Religious Site

A small branch to the bell tower is worthwhile. At the village fountain you can take a little break and visit the adjacent church.

May 1, 2024,Druidensteig-schöne kleine Pfade-Runde von Herdorf
It was an all-round beautiful tour with great weather☀️😀.
At times we were almost alone, but then on other sections we felt like we were in a big herd🙈😂. So we sometimes took a different route than originally planned. We also skipped the Ottoturm for this reason, although you would certainly have had a great view from up there. We'll …
