Saint Matthias, to whom a wayside cross has been dedicated here, is one of the twelve apostles from Jesus's inner circle of disciples, but he was not - like the others - called to this office by Jesus himself. After Jesus's betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the subsequent crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the eleven remaining apostles prayed for the Holy Spirit and elected a new twelfth apostle. The lot fell to Matthias, as reported in the "Acts of the Apostles" in the New Testament (Acts 1:15-26). His feast day is on May 14th, and in German-speaking countries on February 24th. He is buried in the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias in Trier; it is the only apostle's tomb north of the Alps, and a number of St. Matthias Brotherhoods (SMB) regularly make pilgrimages there, which is why this sacred wayside shrine also stands here.

The Heidsmühle is idyllically located in the forest, without noisy through traffic at the end of the access road. It was badly damaged in the flood of the century in 2021. The damage has now been largely repaired and nothing stands in the way of a stop or even an overnight stay in this idyll. Both the Eifelsteig and the Lieserpfad lead along the Heidsmühle and invite you to take a break and have a good time. Further information on the homepage at: https://www.heidsmuehle.de/

I can't take as many breaks as there are beautiful huts and viewing benches here - there's not enough room in my backpack for that amount of bread, snacks and water.

The nice thing about the hiking trails around here is the fact that you can often catch a glimpse of the castles.
