Top 20 Natural Monuments around Bonerath

For me, "Frau Holle" was always the kind old lady shaking out down comforters. This "Frau Holle" with her hollow eyes gazing out of the rock, however, goes back to the Celtic/Germanic legendary figure who was declared a demon during the Christianization process.

Reservoir, which can be comfortably walked around on wide paths (also suitable for strollers), beautiful views along the route included as well as the opportunity to stop off at Hau's am See (it is particularly nice on the terrace directly on the lake) and pedal boat rental included.

Very beautiful rock formation at the beginning of the dream loop.

A few years ago beavers were spotted here again. Next to the habitat there is a nice little shelter that invites you to take a break and also offers an information board about beavers.

If you want to see the lake well, you should do the tour when the trees are not in leaf 😊

The Riveristalsperre is a drinking water dam that was built in the Riveris valley and has been supplying the city of Trier with drinking water since 1958. Technical data: Dam: 350,000 m³ slope and valley gravel, dam height: 50 m, dam width: 178 m, content: up to 5 million m³ drinking water. The area around the dam is a water protection area. You can walk around the dam on a leisurely hiking trail. There is a large car park below the dam. Swimming and water sports are not permitted on the dam, as the water must be protected from contamination.

A quiet place early in the morning with a lot of waterfowl.

𝑽𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒊𝒔 𝒛𝒖𝒓 𝑴ü𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒏𝒈 In the large forest area of the Osburger Hochwald, at 708 meters above sea level, lies the highest point in the Ruwer catchment area - the Rösterkopf. Where the groundwater flowing in the quartzite meets impermeable clay slate, there are several spring outflows. The escaping water ultimately forms the basis for the Ruwer, which is still very inconspicuous there. Below its headwaters, the Ruwer then flows through the Keller Mulde, a nature reserve designated in 1999 with a size of around 270 hectares. The subsoil changes from the original quartzite rock to the softer Hunsrück schist. From now on, the Ruwer flows to the southwest at a significantly lower flow rate than in the source region. In the local area of Zerf, at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, the river changes its direction of flow and turns north - one speaks of the so-called "Zerfer knee", as the Ruwer changes its direction in a 95 ° bend. Initially, wide floodplains change into stream sections with a narrow valley bottom and quite steep slopes. Only occasionally there are larger valley widenings. The settlements in this middle Ruwertal are on the upper slope. Only there are the slopes and heights more gently inclined and can also be used for agriculture. Finally, in the lower section of the river, there are the wine-growing towns of Waldrach, Kasel, Mertesdorf and Trier-Ruwer. The wine that has made the Ruwertal famous far beyond the country's borders grows on the steep slate slopes facing south and west.
