Super steep ascent and descent to the castle, with the turbocharged e-bikes and be careful on the descent.

Situated on a mountain spur projecting into the Nims Valley, Schönecken Castle had the task of securing the southern border of the territory of the Prüm Prince Abbey and controlling the Bitburg-Prüm road leading through the valley. Its founders were the Counts of Vianden, who were mentioned as Prümer bailiffs (patrons) as early as 1132. The construction of the castle may have been started as early as the 12th century, but the first half of the 13th century is more likely. Source: https://www.eifel.info/a-burgruine-schoenecken

The Bertradaburg is named after Charlemagne's grandmother, Bertrada the Elder. Bertrada the Younger is said to have stayed here when her son, who later became Charlemagne, was born. For the history of Bertradaburg see e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertradaburg. And for the history of the village, which flourished in the Franconian era, see http://www.gemeinde-muerlenbach.de/geschichte.html. There you will also find the link to the question: Was Charlemagne born in Mürlenbach? (http://www.gemeinde-muerlenbach.de/assets/files/geburtsort_kdg.pdf)

It is best to ask beforehand if you are interested in a guided tour of the castle, as this is privately owned.

Beautiful view and wonderfully suitable for a break on a longer round.

"Towards the end, a seemingly endless meadow path awaits us, which leads straight down. Downward. Further down. Only when we realize that we were at an altitude of 550 meters near Weißenseifen, but Malberg is at 300 meters, do we calm down; the path does not lead straight into the underworld. Nevertheless, it is impressive how long we walk downhill to then arrive at the castle at the top of the village. And climb further down into the steep place. Malberg then a small Eifel pearl. “The town center and Malberg Castle are listed as a monument zone. In addition, the list of cultural monuments shows 36 individual monuments, including the baroque palace complex on a ridge surrounded by the Kyll (and) the Catholic parish church of St. Quirin [...]."

Very nice view, beautiful landscape!

Offers a wonderful view over this tranquil place if the ruins themselves are not fascinating enough.
