56 Dorfrundgang - Hammer

Simmerath-Hammer

Even the approach is an experience, no matter which direction you come from: the deep valley with its rocks and wooded slopes, the Rur, which makes its way through the valley in a lively and powerful way, the fertile meadows and, of course, Hammer, which nestles close to the edge of the valley floor.

Current condition:

The Bartholomäussteg in Hammer "Am Hammerwerk" is closed until further notice. It is not possible to cross the Rur. For this reason, the route of the path has been rerouted. This is signposted on site and leads "Am Hammerwerk" along the RurUfer cycle path to Grünentalstraße (K21). After a short stretch along the road, a path on the right leads to the "Holderknipp". At the end of the path, you rejoin the hiking trail. This extends the hiking trail by approx. 1.6 km.

Kreuzweg des Friedens [80]

In the winter of 1944/45, the Second World War raged in the area around Schmidt. Acts of violence and cruelty brought endless suffering to soldiers and civilians. When the killing came to an end in February 1945, what remained were ... Shattered forests, devastated settlements, war scrap and corpses. The seemingly apocalyptic scale of the destruction is no longer really imaginable today. And yet fragments of the horror remain, be it gloomy bunkers or gradually fading traces of deadly battles. Remnants of war material still come to light or skeletal remains of dead soldiers are recovered. Memorials and crosses try to keep the memory of unspeakable suffering alive so that future generations can learn their lessons from a time of terror and violence. With the "Way of the Cross of Peace", the parish of St. Hubertus would like to remind us how fragile peace and freedom are. May the insight mature that readiness for reconciliation is the only right path to lasting peace; at all times and everywhere in the world. (TEXT: Bert van London,Konrad Schöller)
