The view from here is fantastic. 🥸 On a clear day, you can even see the Feldberg in the Taunus mountains. 👍

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 historic lava cellars are unique in the world, created by human hands over time under the most adverse conditions. Today, combined with a visit to the Lava Dome Museum, they are an absolute must for visitors to the Osteifel / Laacher See Volcano Park. A network of underground lava cellars stretches across an area of almost 3 km² beneath the town of Mendig. At a depth of 32 meters, this subterranean "landscape" is unique in the world. Back when the volcanoes erupted and covered the land with embers and ash, a lava flow also flowed toward present-day Mendig. https://www.lavadome.de/lavakeller/ https://youtu.be/J1-pin3eNwc

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

Nice beer garden. For those who don't like alcohol, we also recommend the Vulkan Radler.

The castle belongs to the municipality of Sankt Johann in Rhineland-Palatinate and is located northwest of Mayen on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of the Nitzbach and Nette rivers. Along with Eltz Castle and Lissingen Castle, Bürresheim Castle is one of the few aristocratic residences in the Eifel region that was never conquered or destroyed, surviving unscathed both the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries and the social upheavals resulting from the French Revolution. Its history was largely shaped by its location on the border between the two ecclesiastical electorates of Cologne and Trier.

Beautiful route above the lake, but somehow you never really get to see it.

Nice back road. Rolls well. Very shady.
