Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.

A very beautiful complex in the style of a moated castle, with the river Nims flowing directly past it.

Great tree to admire as you drive by!

Nice flat stretch along the river Kyll

The cycle path between Kyllburg and St. Thomas is currently closed, you will be diverted via the road!

Good and quiet cycle path along the beautiful river Kyll. It is almost flat here so there is not much to climb, but you can cycle nicely.

Rittersdorf Castle, a charming moated castle dating back to the 13th century, was first documented in 1263. Originally built as a fortified house for the Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier, it served to secure the trade routes between Trier, Bitburg, and Cologne. The imposing 26-meter-high keep, whose construction was approved by King Rudolf of Habsburg in 1290, still dominates the castle's appearance today. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded to include residential buildings with round towers. Today, the castle houses a restaurant, a small museum, and even a registry office, located in the historic Knights' Hall.

Excellent hotel and restaurant with delicious food and a very friendly chef. Definitely worth a stop.
