ハウステンのおすすめツーリングルート

リーデン（Rieden）の町とリーデンの製粉所（Riedener Mühlen）の間には、約4ヘクタールの貯水池があり、レーバッハ川（Rehbach）から水を供給されています。水源は元々司祭館（Pfarrhaus）にあったため、この森の湖は冗談で「世界最大の聖水盤」とも呼ばれています。

今日まで保存されている市壁の北門は、1299年から1354年の間に建設された、ネッテ川沿いにある橋門です。ネッテ川の渡河を確保し、主にコブレンツ方面からの市の入り口として機能していたため、「コブレンツ門」という名前でも知られています。落とし格子のための壁の溝の痕跡がないため、門の安全確保のためにネッテ川の橋脚への跳ね橋が使用されていたと推測されています。 1598年の洪水により、橋門は前門とともに崩壊しました。しかし、1599という刻まれた数字は、橋門が翌年には再建されたことを物語っています。19世紀初頭から1855年まで、橋門は刑務所として使用されていました。1911年に設置された市の紋章は今日まで見ることができます。 出典: Jonas Breithaupt, Universität Koblenz-Landau, 2015

The oldest part of Bürresheim Castle is the imposing keep, a 12th-century tower that clearly reflects the castle's defensive origins. Over time, the castle developed into a complex double complex, consisting of the so-called Cologne Castle and the Trier Castle, which underwent different construction and expansion phases. While the Cologne Castle formed the older part and primarily served economic purposes—leading to its eventual decline—the Trier Castle was transformed into a prestigious residential palace, which continues to shape the character of the entire complex to this day.

The Brückentor (Bridge Gate) is one of Mayen's few remaining medieval city gates and once served as the most important entrance for travelers coming from Koblenz. Today, this historic building houses the Mayen Carnival Museum, which brings the city's long tradition of "Faasenaacht" (Carnival Night) to life.

During the summer months, suitable photo spots are scarce, as the lake is only visible from the bike path through the trees. But there are these little hotspots.

Unfortunately, you have to cycle on a country road without a bike path. In heavy traffic, caution is advised when crossing the Abtei road.

A very beautiful market square with beautiful buildings (town hall, church, and castle). Plenty of cafés and restaurants, bakeries, etc., offer opportunities for a rest and refreshment.

The late Gothic castle was besieged, destroyed, and rebuilt several times over the course of its eventful history. The current complex consists of the upper castle with the 34-meter-high Golo Tower and the slightly lower outer castle. The castle is protected from the city by a large castle gate, and on the other side by the keep and a moat complex. The former moat is now a ring road spanned by a 20-meter-long Gothic stone bridge. The Genovevaburg Castle houses two exhibitions of the Eifel Museum: EifelTotal and the German Slate Mine.
