The Manderscheid Castle Trail with Rittersteig is around 6 kilometers long and is one of the partner trails of the Eifelsteig in the Volcanic Eifel. It leads through Manderscheid and later up to the "Belvedere" lookout point. From here you have a great view of the "Manderscheid Castles" and Manderscheid, which lies beyond the Liesertal.

The upper castle is located on a mountain peak that has been flattened for its construction. As can still be seen today from the ruins, it had an almost triangular outer wall and a five-storey keep, which has now been made accessible again. From the keep you have an excellent view of the Niederburg, the town of Manderscheid and the landscape of the Liesertal. The ruins of the upper castle were completely renovated in 1921 by the Manderscheid community, who owns them, and are freely accessible. Source: Wikipedia

The upper castle has been enthroned above the Liesertal for more than a thousand years. It is the older of the two Manderscheid castles. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 973. It is enthroned on a mountain peak that was demolished for construction, near today's outskirts. As can still be seen from the ruins today, it had an almost triangular outer wall and a five-story keep that has since been made accessible again.

The last resident of the upper castle was the "Burggretchen", as Margarethe Zirbes was called. She left the castle in the second half of the 19th century. After that the castle stood empty. In 1921, the municipality of Manderscheid bought the upper castle for a purchase price of 1800 marks at the time. The castle association looks back on an eventful past of the upper castle.
The upper castle is freely accessible and the keep is open. eifel.info/a-oberburg-manderscheid
