A very beautiful castle above a great little town. Restorations are already well advanced. Definitely worth a visit

Even if the castle cannot be visited because it is privately owned, its location high above the village of Kerpen is very impressive and gives the beautiful village a certain charm. Kerpen Castle is a so-called spur castle, which lies on a rock or mountain spur, but below the hilltop or the mountain peak, unlike the summit castle, and thus steeply above the valley. It is characterized by a terrain formation that slopes steeply on at least two sides. The place is practically at the feet of the castle. The former owner and famous Eifel painter Fritz von Wille was buried on a hill behind the castle in 1941. For a long time afterwards, it served first as a training center and finally as a rural school center; from 2016 to 2018, refugees were accommodated here. The castle currently belongs to an entrepreneurial family from Bonn and has since been used only for private residential purposes.

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

You'll almost come across here again on the way back. Enjoy the well signposted path!

Just a few more meters and you've made it. At the top there is a great view and nice seating. Top!

The Eifel landscape is characterized by slender and upright growing juniper species. Therefore on the addition "Tuscany of the Eifel".

The mountain path leads through an extremely barren and beautiful juniper landscape. Loosened up by the Stations of the Cross and peppered with beautiful views of the valley.

Many species of butterflies feel at home here. Various species of birds have nested in the green, wooded slopes between beech, oak and pine trees, and lizards and snails warm themselves on the rocky rocks.
