Mountain biking

behind the tree group left hand begins the terrain of the wall and grave rests - evidently documented a knight Evard de Meyssemburg as owner in the 13th century - the siting deviating from the highest terrain point was probably the constant availability of spring water (see photos) - not far away east of the village Huppenbroich which in the Middle Ages was also known as Meyssenbruch (several times destroyed by territorial disputes - as well as this attachment) ⚔️

A very detailed report about the supposed castle can be found here:
