Blankenheim Castle is a castle complex above the municipality of Blankenheim in the Eifel. It was built as a hilltop castle around 1115 by Gerhard I and was the ancestral seat of the Blankenheim family.

Bad Münstereifel, also known as Outlet City, is a very lively Eifel town. Many outdoor shops and fashion stores are located in the city center. A lot was destroyed in the 2021 flood, but much more has been rebuilt/reproduced here than in many other affected communities.

A beautiful ruin with an interesting past, which unfortunately has been demolished for building material.

Small, historic town center with the Ahrquelle and the possibility to rest a little in a cafe

The ascent to the castle is worthwhile just for the view of the old Blankenheim, numerous information boards also provide information about the baroque garden and the Tiergarten tunnel - unfortunately no longer there.

A nice, interesting place with hidden wall remnants in the surrounding forest.

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 ruin is freely accessible! Depending on the position, the tower really looks like a finger
