Hiking

The Manderscheid Castle Trail with Rittersteig is around 6 kilometers long and is one of the partner trails of the Eifelsteig in the Volcanic Eifel. It leads through Manderscheid and later up to the "Belvedere" lookout point. From here you have a great view of the "Manderscheid Castles" and Manderscheid, which lies beyond the Liesertal.

The upper castle is located on a mountain peak that has been flattened for its construction. As can still be seen today from the ruins, it had an almost triangular outer wall and a five-storey keep, which has now been made accessible again. From the keep you have an excellent view of the Niederburg, the town of Manderscheid and the landscape of the Liesertal. The ruins of the upper castle were completely renovated in 1921 by the Manderscheid community, who owns them, and are freely accessible. Source: Wikipedia
