Guided Story

Can you feel the gentle breeze coming down the hillside? Here, on the eastern slope of the Venusberg, surrounded by towering beeches, lies the Neuer Friedhof Kessenich. Look to your right and you'll see the well-kept paths winding through lush greenery. In spring, the sea of blossoms is particularly enchanting. Listen to the rustling leaves in the wind and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Just behind you, a short walk away, is the Melbbach, and you might hear its gentle babbling. Take a moment to pause and reflect on the stories of those who found rest here.
