During the Second World War (1944), the people of Steffel vowed to build a chapel to Our Lady if the war would spare their homeland. Already in the summer of 1946, the construction of the chapel began on the 560 m above sea level. NN-located hill Wahlhausen, the inauguration took place in 1947. The oval building is visible from afar and offers magnificent panoramic views of the Volcanic Eifel.

Vulkan Goldberg

The quaternary volcano Goldberg, northeast of the municipality Ormont, is the northwesternmost foothill of the quaternary volcanic field in the Westeifel. The volcano is 649.1 meters above normal zero. The Goldberg was formed about 10 to 11,000 years ago in two eruptions. First, a large ash cone was formed. The second eruption phase began after a short time, which at first exploded the top of the old cinder cone with a strong explosion. Then again a cinder cone was built up on the leftovers and the activity ceased after a certain time.
