Tips from the Community
Here, right at a high cross, there is a nice rest bench (partly in the shade), from which you have a magnificent view down onto a part of Maring-Noviand. Definitely take a break before heading down the many "jungle paths" into the wine village of Lieser!

The castle's renovation is still underway. The keep can be climbed. For entry, a ticket must be purchased from the vending machine in the castle courtyard (€1). Only accessible during the castle restaurant's opening hours.

The square is characterized by its unique grace and dignity, setting it apart from other market squares in Germany, as it combines attractive coziness with carefree cheerfulness, thus becoming the town's living room. It also serves as its ballroom, the focal point and heart of its life. The 400-year-old half-timbered houses, the Renaissance Town Hall (1608), the St. Michael's Fountain (1606), and the much-admired, charming "Pointed House" (1416) reflect the living poetry of the Middle Ages. The filigree work of the fountain grille, the ornaments and colorful beam drawings in the half-timbering of the houses, and the ornate weather vanes on the roof gables still bear eloquent witness to the town's former prosperity and history.

A very beautiful little town, both in summer and winter. Beautiful half-timbered houses, narrow streets, the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Moselle, and hike to the castle ruins. There's no chance of getting bored here.
