Beautiful small town on the Moselle

Saw it while driving past, it is beautiful here

The lower castle has completely disappeared. You can still see the beginning of the ring that connected the lower castle and the Ulmen city wall, a two-story outer wall of the palace, as well as a cistern and some foundation walls of other buildings. The old part of Ulmen Castle was built around 1074 AD and likely rests on the remains of a Roman settlement. In the Middle Ages, Ulmen Castle was further expanded and divided into the upper castle, whose remains of the walls still exist, and the lower castle, which extended to the banks of the maar river. Two knightly families lived in the castle, which is believed to have never been attacked or destroyed until 1673 due to its size. Only the Sun King's troops succeeded. It was rebuilt, but fell again in 1689 during the War of the Succession. However, Ulmen Castle was also rebuilt this time, with only the city wall being abandoned. With the invasion of Napoleon's soldiers, Ulmen also became French and later Prussian. The empty castle, whose last descendant died in 1801, was auctioned to a merchant from Cochem, who sold it as a quarry. When a devastating fire burned Ulmen to the ground in the 19th century, the residents of Ulmen rebuilt their houses with stones from the castle. That's why you can still see a coat of arms on some of the stables today. It wasn't until the early twentieth century that Ulmen Castle was declared a listed building and became the property of the municipality of Ulmen. The castle is always freely accessible.

According to legend, Heinrich von Ulmen is said to have deposited a bag of earth from Christ's grave at the St. Anthony's Cross in the 17th century.

Ulmen Castle Ruins: The few walls of the once stately Ulmen Castle tower over the steep bank of the Ulmen Maar. Only parts of the upper castle have been preserved for posterity.

전설에 따르면, 기사 Rhilipp Haust(en) von Ulmen과 그의 부인이 십자가를 세웠다고 합니다. 기사는 십자군 전쟁 중에 포로가 되었습니다. 그곳에서 그는 손과 발가락이 잘렸음에도 불구하고 쟁기를 끌어야 했다고 전해집니다. 그의 아내는 이 소식을 듣고 사랑하는 남편을 구출하기 위해 떠났습니다. 그녀는 하프 연주 덕분에 성공했습니다. 그리고 감사하는 마음으로 두 사람은 행복하게 귀환한 후 안토니우스 십자가를 세웠습니다. (출처: Sagen und Legenden der Eifel / Hans-Peter Pracht 수집 및 편집, 1983). 역사적으로 이 전설은 1508년경에 생겨났습니다.

A rare, well-maintained circuit - wonderfully relaxing and easy to enjoy, including the lively gastronomy in Ulmen.

After what feels like an endless descent, here is the entrance to more "nature" and "idyll"...
