    From here you have a fantastic view of Thurant Castle and the Alkener Burgberg. It can be visited or you can reach it via the dream path Bleidenberger views.

      The approx. 800-year-old medieval castle stands on a slate spur above the town of Alken on the Moselle and is therefore a spur castle type.
      During the 13th century, the German imperial crown was kept here.
      The castle is still privately owned, but can be visited all year round for a fee
      Worth seeing: chapel, wine cellar and castle dungeon with torture chamber.

        The ruins of Thurant Castle (also Thurandt) stand on a broad slate spur high above the village of Alken on the Moselle. It lies in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and belongs to the type of spur castles. A special feature - in addition to the location on the steep shoulder of the valley - are the vineyards on the sunny side.

            Even the view over the Mosel on this beautiful place with the castle is something special.

                              Beautiful trail from the banks of the Moselle up to the castle, almost like the Alpine foothills.

                                              A wonderful view from the Moselle cycle path. The castle was built around 1200.
