Heidegarten auf dem Wabelsberg

Langscheid

The heath garden on the Wabelsberg near Langscheid is both a nature trail and a botanical garden and provides information about the characteristic plant species of the heath.

The heath garden on the Wabelsberg in Langscheid was created between October 2008 and July 2009 at the eastern end of the Wabelsberg plateau with 45 plant species.

The heather garden primarily has the following three objectives:
1. to appeal to visitors aesthetically and to get them interested in the subject of heathland in general.
2. to impart knowledge to interested parties in an easy and compact way.
3. the heather garden should become the starting point for the reintroduction of rare heather species.

Many rare plant species can also be found away from the heather garden and a large number of butterflies, beetles and insects can be discovered.

The ‘Bergheidenweg’ dream trail (starting point in Arft) and the ‘Wacholderweg’ dream trail as well as the ‘Langscheider Wacholderblick’ dream trail (both starting point in Langscheid) are a special experience for exploring the unique heathland areas. The unique Blumenrather Heide can be discovered on a hike along the ‘Virne-Burgweg’ dream trail.

Pfarrkirche St. Valerius, Baar-Wanderath

The verifiable building history of the parish church in Wanderath begins in the 13th century. The original church is Romanesque, around 1500 the late Gothic nave, today's aisle, was built with the help of the Counts of Virneburg, who were the patrons of the church. When the church was enlarged by a south and north aisle around 1530, the side walls of the old church were broken through. In 1655 Wanderath becomes an independent parish. These include the places Engeln, Büchel, Freilingen, Nitz, Ober- Mittel- and Niederbaar, Herresbach, Eschbach, Döttingen, Siebenbach and Drees. Virneburg was added at the beginning of the 19th century. For this, Drees is assigned to Welcherath. In 1896/1897 the current, neo-Gothic main nave was built. The two Gothic aisles are being demolished. In 1921/1922 the church was expanded again. The then octagonal sacristy was torn down and the current one built. The main nave was lengthened by 10 m and the gallery was built. The tower was raised by 6 meters. In addition, the church received a continuous roof area. Since then, the outward view has not changed. Since Wanderath only consisted of a church, a rectory, a school and a residential building until the middle of the 19th century, there are many legends and myths surrounding the question of why a church was built in the poor Wanderath at all.
