Discover Breidweiler: Hiking, Church and Distillery

If you are considering Breidweiler for a hotel stay, you can base your choice on three specific interests: hiking at Kallektuffquell, the history of St. Hubertus Church, or the products of the Difrulux Distillery. The experiences differ in nature, too: at the spring, the focus is on a natural feature and access via hiking trails; at the church, on historical traces and a feature of its furnishings; and at the distillery, on spirits and possible tastings.

Hiking to Kallektuffquell

At Kallektuffquell, clear, limestone-rich water flows over a rock formation into a pool. Water, rock and pool together make up this natural feature. Local hiking trail W7 provides access to the spring; Route 3 of the Mullerthal Trail also leads there. When choosing a route, you can therefore follow either a locally named hiking trail or a route on the Mullerthal Trail. Both trails provide access to Kallektuffquell.

For travel by bus, there is a specific point of reference: the nearest listed stop to Kallektuffquell is Müllerthal Schiessentümpel (Parking), 1.4 km away. Transport information may change, so check it locally before travelling. This lets you treat route planning and getting there as two separate questions: Which of the named trails suits your plans, and what up-to-date transport information will you need for your visit?

Chapel, Roman finds and St. Hubertus Church

A chapel on the site of Breidweiler’s present-day cemetery is mentioned in 1570. When the chapel was demolished in 1881, Roman masonry and about eight sculpted stones were discovered. The present-day St. Hubertus Church in Breidweiler was built in the same year. These dates therefore describe different stages: the chapel’s mention, the discovery made during its demolition, and the construction of the present-day church.

Three of the sculpted stones dating from Roman times were built into the altar base of the new St. Hubertus Church. There is another specific feature: the church has a tabernacle with large Rococo volutes. This gives you two different points of interest when learning about the church: the reuse of Roman stones in the altar base and the design of the tabernacle. Its history encompasses both its archaeological and construction history and a detail of its furnishings.

Difrulux: Spirits and visits

The Difrulux Distillery produces eau-de-vie, liqueurs and other spirits. It uses mainly fruit from the region in its production. If you are interested in its products, you can taste them on site in an exhibition room that also serves as a shop. Please confirm the arrangements for your visit in advance. The tasting opportunity is therefore tied to a specific setting: the exhibition room, which is also used as a shop.

Guided tours are available on request and include tastings. The official information lists the period from 1 April to 31 October for 2026; check the listed period before travelling and confirm your appointment and visit arrangements in advance. During a visit, you can also get a behind-the-scenes look at the production processes. Contact the distillery in advance to arrange this. This lets you decide whether you are mainly interested in discovering the products or would also like to learn more about production as part of a requested guided tour.
