The actual basilica is the fifth church to have been erected in this place. The first one was built by St Willibrord, after he had received donations by Abbess Irmina of Oeren (near Trier) and Pippin II in the years 698 and 706 (Merovingian church). Soon after his death on 7th November 739 this church was too small, as pilgrims came to his grave in great numbers to worship him as a saint.

The trail starts at the church of Schleidweiler. The route leads along typical Eifel Houses. The path runs along the open terrain before it enters the forest. Past the old sandstone pits, the natural trail leads through an untouched part of the forest down to Daufenbach. The small town even has its own train station. Parallel to the Kyll the path leads over the cycle path to the district Mühlenflürchen. Take a deep breath before climbing the ascend. You will get rewarded with untouched nature with former quarries. The hidden waterfall at the end of this quiet woodland invites you to linger. The last stage will take you across the Eifelsteig, back to Schleidweiler.
