The bicycle repair station in Mürlenbach is located on the Kyllwiese directly on the Kylltalradweg. It was set up in 2023 and offers tools for minor repairs on the go. Available are, among other things, wrenches, tire levers, and a pump. This allows a flat tire or a loose screw to be quickly fixed yourself. A very practical facility for cyclists on the way through the Kylltal.

The Bertradaburg thrones impressively above Mürlenbach in the Kylltal. The present castle complex was probably built at the end of the 13th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1331. Particularly striking is the mighty double-tower gate, which still dominates the image of the complex today. The legend that Charlemagne was born here surrounds the castle – however, this is not historically proven. The castle is inhabited today and can therefore only be visited at certain times and partially.

When the forester and forestry scientist Otto Feucht (1879–1971) spoke of the 'evil signs of the times' in the lines quoted below, we people of the 21st century can certainly take his words to heart as still relevant: „That respect and awe for old trees have disappeared from us is an evil sign of the times. We only value the great, the mighty, where we have created it ourselves, in the constructed, the made; but no longer in the grown, the become; only in the work of man, no longer in that of the Creator.“

My grandfather had the Manstein Bridge built so that the grain wagons could get through the forest to the mills better and safer! 😉 Claudia Manstein

Near Mürlenbach, the Kylltal cycle path leads over this narrow bridge. From here you have a beautiful view along the stream and over the wooded slopes.
