キールブルクヴァイラー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.

A very beautiful complex in the style of a moated castle, with the river Nims flowing directly past it.

Always open for coffee and cake.

For centuries, the organ has rightly been considered the queen of instruments. It is the largest and, in most cases, the most magnificent instrument, often equipped with the tonal volume of an entire orchestra. A queen of a very special rank is the great organ of the Abbey Church of Himmerod. This organ is not only the most important and imposing in the entire region, it also made history in post-war German organ building. To this day, this organ, built in 1962 by the venerable Bonn organ building firm of Johannes Klais, is considered a prime example of innovative organ building, a successful synthesis of classical craftsmanship and the challenges of contemporary, modern organ building.

This place is on the 13th stage of the Eifelsteig. https://youtu.be/OShDuHjOs_w

The monastery church is worth a visit after the first 9.5 km, which lead through the forest. You can mostly walk in the shade of the trees, but you'll arrive at the church. Yesterday, there was a craft market there with interesting offerings. The monastery shop also has some lovely items (it has its own fish farm). The rest of the route follows a path along the Salm River back to Molitorsmühle. A great hike!

Rittersdorf Castle, a charming moated castle dating back to the 13th century, was first documented in 1263. Originally built as a fortified house for the Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier, it served to secure the trade routes between Trier, Bitburg, and Cologne. The imposing 26-meter-high keep, whose construction was approved by King Rudolf of Habsburg in 1290, still dominates the castle's appearance today. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded to include residential buildings with round towers. Today, the castle houses a restaurant, a small museum, and even a registry office, located in the historic Knights' Hall.

Very interesting complex with a lot of history. It is a great place to go hiking and also to run northwest.
