The Eifel town of Nideggen is located on a hilltop above the Rur. If you drive through the valley, you can see the castle on top of the impressive red sandstone cliffs from afar. A detour to the old town with its medieval city gates and many half-timbered houses is worthwhile.

Nideggen is indeed a very beautiful place and there is a lot to discover.
Not just city gates, church and castle, but also nice restaurants, a sculpture park and a nice little story in the forest below the castle.
