Hiking, Cycling and Meeting Places

The Ausonius Trail, also known as the Hunsrück Camino, is a 120-kilometre hiking and pilgrimage trail from Bingen to Trier, divided into six daily stages.

Cyclists use Niederweiler’s municipal roads to reach agricultural tracks and cycle paths in the surrounding area.

The municipal leisure facility includes a barbecue hut and a barbecue area; visitors from outside Niederweiler may also rent and use both for celebrations.

The municipal leisure facility is a popular meeting place for hikers, joggers and cyclists.

History and Architectural Heritage

The old Roman road that forms Niederweiler’s boundary with Laufersweiler and Krummenau is also called the Ausonius Trail.

Prehistoric and Roman burial mounds lie along Ausoniusstraße in the Niederweiler area.

One of these burial mounds contained a Hallstatt-period wagon grave dating from 600 to 500 BC; it was presumably the grave of a Celtic prince.

The same burial mound also contained a later Roman secondary burial.

In 1926, a Roman structure was excavated in Niederweiler that was apparently a funerary monument on a massive 2nd-century foundation with a balustrade enclosure.

Some of the excavation findings from Niederweiler are housed in the Landesmuseum Bonn.

The Catholic St. Bartholomaei Chapel is a replacement structure built between 1914 and 1919.

A bell from 1756, originating from a former chapel, hangs in the bell tower of the community centre.

The half-timbered ensemble at Hauptstraße 8/10, listed as a heritage monument, comprises a semi-detached house from the 18th century and a half-timbered barn bearing the year 1888.
