ツェントシャイトの洞窟・トップ6

Super steep ascent and descent to the castle, with the turbocharged e-bikes and be careful on the descent.

a nice house :-)

The Bertradaburg is named after Charlemagne's grandmother, Bertrada the Elder. Bertrada the Younger is said to have stayed here when her son, who later became Charlemagne, was born. For the history of Bertradaburg see e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertradaburg. And for the history of the village, which flourished in the Franconian era, see http://www.gemeinde-muerlenbach.de/geschichte.html. There you will also find the link to the question: Was Charlemagne born in Mürlenbach? (http://www.gemeinde-muerlenbach.de/assets/files/geburtsort_kdg.pdf)

It is best to ask beforehand if you are interested in a guided tour of the castle, as this is privately owned.

"Towards the end, a seemingly endless meadow path awaits us, which leads straight down. Downward. Further down. Only when we realize that we were at an altitude of 550 meters near Weißenseifen, but Malberg is at 300 meters, do we calm down; the path does not lead straight into the underworld. Nevertheless, it is impressive how long we walk downhill to then arrive at the castle at the top of the village. And climb further down into the steep place. Malberg then a small Eifel pearl. “The town center and Malberg Castle are listed as a monument zone. In addition, the list of cultural monuments shows 36 individual monuments, including the baroque palace complex on a ridge surrounded by the Kyll (and) the Catholic parish church of St. Quirin [...]."

Please note that Bergfeld Castle is privately owned and, in order to protect privacy, no photographs are permitted, and the castle may only be visited by prior appointment or booking of the holiday apartments / events.

This imposing castle complex, located on a mountain spur above the village of Mürlenbach, goes back to a protective foundation of the Prüm Abbey. A thicket of medieval sagas and legends lets the castle appear in a mysterious light. https://www.eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/322.html

The castle owes its name to Charlemagne's great-grandmother, Bertrada the Elder, who is said to have lived here with her son. Allegedly, Charlemagne is said to have even been born on Bertradaburg.
