The rocky ridge above today's town of Vianden was first fortified in late antiquity. The excavations carried out in 1994 at the foot of the castle chapel led to the realization, based on the findings secured in a second relocation, that parts of the rising masonry of the late antique tower must have still existed in the Merovingian period, and that this square part of the building was the only remaining structure from late antiquity in the first medieval period System was integrated.At a prehistoric road connection, which led as a branch ("side road") from the great Roman road Reims - Cologne through the Ardennes and the Ourtal into the Sauertal and via Echternach in the direction of Bitburg to the then metropolis of Trier, was built at the beginning of the In late antiquity, the first fortification was built on the Schlossberg, probably as a civilian-used “refuge” during the time of constant Germanic threat (around 275 AD).

A path directly parallel to the Sauer. Unfortunately it is asphalted and only separated from the road by a guardrail.

Iconic castle. Looks nice on the mountain and overlooks Vianden.

I like to recommend a hike from Vianden to Falkenstein Castle over the ridge. You can't get to the castle. But the way is awesome!

Even if you only get to the gate. The path is incredibly great and recommendable.

Beautiful and flat bike path along the Our

Certainly worth a visit during your stay in Vianden :)

Parking is possible on the road: schank. You can park there for 5 hours. If you drive through that road, you will find even more parking spaces on the side of the road. They are indefinite. In the city it is a maximum of 3 hours parking.
