Blankenheim Castle is a castle complex above the municipality of Blankenheim in the Eifel. It was built as a hilltop castle around 1115 by Gerhard I and was the ancestral seat of the Blankenheim family.

A beautiful ruin with an interesting past, which unfortunately has been demolished for building material.

Small, historic town center with the Ahrquelle and the possibility to rest a little in a cafe

The "old town" of Blankenheim is mostly well preserved or restored and (apart from a few "modern architectural mistakes") worth seeing. Coming on the Way of St. James from Cologne (or in the variant from Bonn), the pilgrim to Bad Münstereifel - where both routes unite - now reaches this place as a stage destination on the further path through the Eifel in the direction of Trier.

A "must" for visitors to Blankenheim. Above all, it is unusual that the spring does not arise in the wild, but under this almost 300-year-old house.

The very impressive castle towers over the rather small town. If you choose the eastern path above the church you still have a nice view over Blankenheim (but then you have to walk back a little to the castle). The path on the west side has another good view of the imposing side wall of the building. It is also exciting to see how the water supply was previously provided via the Tiergarten tunnel.

Very nice little place with a few options for walks and small hikes and a lot of half-timbered flair - also quite quiet during the week.

At the end of a cul-de-sac, the Ahr rises here in a well room that can be seen behind two gates. Compared to the sources of other rivers (which can sometimes hardly be found in the forest), this one is very easy to access, photogenic and the Ahr already has enough water to drive a small water wheel a little downstream in the village.
