    A very historically interesting place. The exhibitions are worth visiting.

      Amidst the beautiful landscape of the Northern Eifel, hikers encounter this ostentatious building complex between Einruhr and Gemünd—for example, on the "Wilderness Trail," a four-day tour through the Eifel National Park. It was built by the National Socialists as an "Ordensburg" (Order Castle) for the training of Nazi cadres. Today, the exhibition "Bebestimmung Herrenmensch" (Destiny: Master Race) draws attention to this past. In addition, the National Park Administration also operates an information center called "Erlebnis(t)räume" (Dreams of Experience).

        A 90-minute guided tour of the Teutonic Castle is highly recommended. Advance ticket reservations are recommended online.
