When you step out of the forest and see the radio telescope live for the first time, it is an overwhelming moment.

Nice to cycle along. Beautiful surroundings and you can hear the cars on the circuit from afar between the hills. Nice to have seen.

The "old town" of Blankenheim is mostly well preserved or restored and (apart from a few "modern architectural mistakes") worth seeing. Coming on the Way of St. James from Cologne (or in the variant from Bonn), the pilgrim to Bad Münstereifel - where both routes unite - now reaches this place as a stage destination on the further path through the Eifel in the direction of Trier.

The very impressive castle towers over the rather small town. If you choose the eastern path above the church you still have a nice view over Blankenheim (but then you have to walk back a little to the castle). The path on the west side has another good view of the imposing side wall of the building. It is also exciting to see how the water supply was previously provided via the Tiergarten tunnel.
