St. Nikolaus (Aremberg)

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1306, a church or chapel in honor of Saint Nicholas was mentioned for the first time. This church was renovated in the 15th century. The chapel of Arburch is mentioned in a tithe register from 1553. The exact year the current church was built is not known. The year 1783 is assumed. In any case, it seems certain that the church was built during the term of office of the pastor Aegidius Schneider (1764–1799), who financed the construction of the church in part from his private assets.

Historic Path to Aremberg

Highlight • Trail

Extreme caution is required here in late autumn! The cobblestones are slippery as hell due to the damp leaves!

View of Aremberg from the picnic area

Highlight • Viewpoint

This break area is located below the Aremberg castle ruins and offers a wonderful view of the Eifel in addition to the table and benches. When climbing to the castle, it is worth taking a short break here.

Aremberg Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

Aremberg Castle was built in the 12th century by the Lords of Arenberg. As the Lords of Arenberg's reputation grew, the medieval castle complex was transformed into an impressive Renaissance fortress, which was destroyed by French troops in 1682. The baroque reconstruction suffered a similar fate in 1807 after it was sold for demolition in 1803.

Today, the only thing that stands on Aremberg is the observation tower, built around 1854, from the surrounding rubble and remains of the walls of the once impressive fortifications.

Ahrsteig Forest Road

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Here the Ahrsteig leads over a wide forest path. In my opinion, one of the less beautiful sections of an extremely worthwhile long-distance hiking trail.

Today I drove to Aremberg in the Eifel.
I wanted to look at the castle ruins on the Burgweg and partly on the Ahrsteig.
Unfortunately, she was scaffolded.

The Duchy of Arenberg in the Eifel was relatively small in terms of spatial extent.
It included several villages and had an area of about 8500 hectares. Over the centuries, the ducal …
