This Eifel town is also on my very personal list of travel destinations for a literary tour, because - what probably very few people know: there, on the Ulmener Maar, a Sherlock Holmes novel is set! Granted, not an original penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; But the author Franziska Franke (among other things a member of the "Murderous Sisters") let the ingenious master detective survive his fatal fall at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland (in a duel with Professor Moriarty). Now he has taken on the pseudonym Sven Sigerson and of course continues to solve criminal cases (in the role of a Norwegian explorer), including in the book "Sherlock Holmes and the Elm Monster", which tells the old legend of a giant fish living there in the maar. kite (whatever) picks up.
