Until about 1870, the old Romanesque church of St. Nicholas still stood here. Today the Denkmalplatz Valbert is a popular meeting place for young and old. The Germania monument there commemorates those from Valbert who died in the war in the 19th century.
A pilgrim's stone in the lower area of the square on the right-hand side refers to the centuries-old army and trade route Heidenstraße from Leipzig to Cologne via Meinerzhagen; in the Middle Ages also the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The monument square is also the starting point of beautiful circular walks through the Ebbegebrige. An access route to the Sauerland-Höhenflug long-distance hiking trail is also signposted from here, as well as an overview board about the recreational opportunities in the region is installed on site.
The circular hike Valbert - Höhweg - Westebbe - Quellental also starts here; a hiking information board at the Denkmalplatz Valbert gives an overview of the route.
