EifelLoop Ahe Chapel (Municipality of Nettersheim)

From the Nature Centre to the Ahe Chapel through diverse and wonderful flora and fauna of the northern Eifel – pure tranquility, silence and relaxation!

At the starting point, you can gain an insight into the architectural and natural regional history at the Nature Centre. In the Devon period, large areas of today’s limestone Eifel were part of a coastal coral reef. Therefore, fossils can be found repeatedly around Nettersheim. Traces of civilization are also frequently encountered here. A focus of the exhibition deals with the remains of the Romans. Furthermore, in the old building of the Nature Centre, you can completely immerse yourself in the flora and fauna of the Eifel through sounds and scents. It is of course even more beautiful to hike the Eifel in its full natural splendour. In the Genfbach valley nature reserve, you will find many smells and sounds from the exhibition again. Near the Genfbach stands the chapel of Saint Bishop Servatius, commonly called the Ahe Chapel. It is a protected historical monument and part of the Way of St. James.
