Westwall bunker on the Tiefenbach Trail
Highlight • Historical Site
Before World War II, Hitler had the Siegfried Line built on the western border with France. The facility was planned from 1936 and built between 1938 and 1940. The air defense zone (LVZ), to which the bunkers in St. Wendeler Land belonged, was set up about 40 km behind the actual Siegfried Line. They essentially consisted of concreted air defense positions. The weapons used there should force an approaching enemy to a greater height, whereby they should increase his fuel consumption and reduce his radius of action at the same time. On the west side of the Bosenberg there were 5 bunkers, all of which were blown up except for the water bunker that is still visible today. Source: Text information board

Urweiler Quarry
Highlight • Natural Monument
This part of the Bosenberg is called Bruchwald because there were several hard stone quarries here. The quarry, through which the Tiefenbachpfad leads, belonged to today's forest owners of the "Urweiler Erben". The first known lease dates from the middle of the 19th century. Stones were broken here until 1975. Loosening the stones from the rock layers was the job of the stone carvers. Up until the 20th century, this was extremely strenuous and dangerous work that was only done with the help of a riving knife, hammer and black powder. Day laborers and farmers from Urweiler were hired as unskilled workers, who supplemented their income through transport work from spring to autumn. In winter it was not possible to work in the quarry due to snow, ice and the risk of slipping. Source: Text information board
