Stronghold

Beautiful fenced playground in the park of Mertert.

Already in the middle of the second century, the Romans had a villa in Welschbillig. In the second half of the fourth century, they constructed an even larger one, which in U-shape was connected west of a 60-by-20-meter pond, surrounded by 112 herds.

The local museum in the center of Zemmer contains interesting objects such as basic commodity and curiosities of different eras. All objects were compiled in painstaking work by the local association Fidei. It offers an insight into 'the good old times'.

The Roman mine is one of the largest and oldest Roman mines in Germany.

Around Kordel you will find a variety of wild-romantic rock formations and caves. Visit, for example, the Klausenhöhle, the Genovevahöhle or the Butzerbach Valley.
