The Upper Castle and the Lower Castle rise up in the Lieser valley near Manderscheid. The Upper Castle was once a state castle of the Archbishops of Trier, while the Lower Castle, around 150 years younger, served as the residence of the Lords of Manderscheid, who lived there as representatives of the Counts of Luxembourg.

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.

From the Burgenstieg you have a beautiful view of the Niederburg and parts of the via ferrata

We have been there several times and it is always an experience.

From the Niederburg via the tournament meadow to the Oberburg. There you have a view of the Niederburg. Gradweg past the Kaisertempelchen! Very beautiful! Definitely recommended to be included in a hike.

The historical castle festival always takes place here at the end of August.

Here it is worth walking the Burgensteig

I really liked the tournament meadow. I think you can imagine very well how fights took place here. The knight's spectacle reenacted every year in August is certainly the right place to be.
