옥텐둥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

The late Gothic castle was besieged, destroyed, and rebuilt several times over the course of its eventful history. The current complex consists of the upper castle with the 34-meter-high Golo Tower and the slightly lower outer castle. The castle is protected from the city by a large castle gate, and on the other side by the keep and a moat complex. The former moat is now a ring road spanned by a 20-meter-long Gothic stone bridge. The Genovevaburg Castle houses two exhibitions of the Eifel Museum: EifelTotal and the German Slate Mine.

A magnificent 🏰, looming over the vineyards of the town of Alken 🤩. Wonderfully accessible via the Moselsteig trail or the Traumpfade trail 😊.

Thurant Castle with its two towers is unmistakable

The castle was built at the beginning of the 12th century on Celtic fortifications. It was first mentioned in 1195, when the then lord of the castle granted it as a fief to the Archbishop of Trier. The castle is visible from afar.

The castle ruins are worth seeing, but the town centre is also worth seeing.

A fairytale castle high above the Moselle. Around every corner you discover something beautiful. The entrance fee is very humane, as is the food and drink available at the kiosk. Everywhere beautiful seating areas that invite you to linger. You can drive your car straight to the parking lot or you can hike up the path from Alken past the white cross

The view over Alken to Thurant Castle and the Moselle is simply great. The castle is also a good starting point for longer tours.

It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the town to the castle ruins. There are also several paths that lead there. One is even a via ferrata. It is very picturesque and there is a beautiful view from the top.
