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

In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

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.
