Barockkirche St. Cäcilia

Saffig

The only church in the Diocese of Trier under the patronage of Saint Cäcilia was designed in the classic Main Franconian Baroque style by the famous Balthasar Neumann.
The client was Karl Kasper Graf von der Leyen, who lives in Saffig.
It was completed in 1742.
Inside the church there are splendid carvings and furnishings from the era.
The baptismal font made from local basaltic lava bears the year 1703 in the base and comes from the previous church. Further information on the history of the Baroque Church of St. Cäcilia is available on the parish website.

Aschestrom in Bad Tönisstein

Almost 13,000 years ago, glowing clouds from the Laacher See volcano raced down the Brohltal and filled it with loose volcanic masses. This impressive spectacle can still be seen here today. Follow the road on the right behind the building complex and go uphill for a few meters. On the slope to the right, the layers of ash (trass) that have settled on the rocks of the older basement can be clearly seen. And where volcanoes were active, mineral springs are usually not far away.
