The best walks and hikes around Salm

„O patron saint Sebastian, take care of our worries, bring comfort and light into our suffering, lead us someday to salvation.“ (Refrain of the Roisdorfer Sebastianus-Lied)

Two curved benches invite you to take a nap. -:)

Whether the small Brubbel or the large cold water geyser in Andernach. I find it uniquely beautiful when the water shoots up for a moment.

Every 35 minutes the eruption starts with a beautiful column of water up to 4 meters high. After that the water continues to "bubble" for about 5 minutes. Then the source goes back to rest for 30 minutes and then it starts all over again. Der Wallenborn, the cold water geyser, is very nice to take with you when visiting the area.

Great view, interesting rest area ;)

The church is a gem in the small town. The old churchyard with old tombstones is also interesting.

<< Wallenborn branch church, St. Sebastianus >> "...The Wallenborn branch was never an independent parish. Very sparse records begin in 1354, followed by another mention in 1687. In 1715 Wallenborn was set up as a chaplaincy, which was staffed by a chaplain or vicar until 1805. In 1802 it was incorporated into the parish of Salm. After building a new church in 1814, the people of Wallenborn wanted to break away from Salm and become an independent parish. Despite constant requests to the bishop about this, this request remained unsuccessful. In 1951/52 an expansion was carried out and the church was restored to its current condition. At that time, the civil community contributed the considerable amount of 100,000 DM from the auction of a felling of wood. At the beginning of the 1960s it became necessary to build a new tower and on July 3, 1966, 3 new bells were consecrated in honor of Saint Peter, Our Lady and Saint Sebastian. Finally, the interior of the church was renovated in 1991 and the exterior was renovated in 2008. ..." +++ CONTINUED: - The church interior: - Processions and pilgrimages: - Church clubs: http://www.kirche-daun.de/8_pfarr/salm.htm

"... A seemingly peaceful fountain awakens and begins to bubble. Suddenly a fountain of 9°C cold water shoots into the sky, bubbling up for six minutes. Then the spook is over just as quickly as the "bubbling" like that Locals affectionately call their phenomenon, calms down. The basis for this natural spectacle is a carbonated spring, one of which there are hundreds in the Eifel. In the early 1930s, Wallenborn wanted to use this industrially and started drilling. But when they tried, chunks of earth and water flew around their ears. They had stumbled upon a chamber in which rising CO2 was collecting and pouring out with force and water to the surface. The fact that the "Brubbel" still spits out at such regular intervals today can be explained by means of a comparison: Similar to a soda bottle that is shaken, the pressure in the underground chamber increases. At some point – after 35 minutes to be precise – this exceeds the pressure of the water column above it. The Wallende Born was born - the cold water geyser in the Eifel. ..." https://www.eifel.info/a-wallender-born
