Schmugglerweg [60]

The road takes its name from the post-war period, when coffee smuggling from Belgium was one of the most important sources of income for the people of Schmidt. Schmidt was over 90% destroyed at the end of the Second World War, including the parish church of St. Hubertus. With the profits from smuggling coffee across the nearby border, the people of Schmidt got their families through and rebuilt their destroyed houses. Of course, this did not go unnoticed by the parish priest at the time, Josef Beyer. The reconstruction of the church initially progressed somewhat less quickly. He said in a sermon: "I know that you are getting a headache from all the money. For me it's the other way around, because I don't know where I'm going to get the money to rebuild the church." From now on, the smugglers sacrificed part of their profits from the coffee business to rebuild the church. church. This is why it is popularly known as St. Mokka.

Weheschlucht [46]

The deeply carved valley of the Weiße Wehe gives this hiking trail its name. The starting point is the "Zum Alten Forsthaus" hotel in Vossenack. The Wehebach originates from the confluence of the "Roter Wehe" and "Weißer Wehe" rivers. In 1981, six Polish beavers were settled in the Weiße Wehe valley. Until the 19th century, the rodents were hunted for their fur, declared fish by the Pope, eaten during Lent and used as an aphrodisiac. The consequence was their almost complete extinction. Today, the Eifel population is once again estimated at 200 to 250 animals. Guided hikes follow the tracks of the beaver. We follow hiking trail no. 46 .
