Biersdorf Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Unfortunately, the lake is no longer attractive. There are many trees and branches in the lake and also algae. Swimming and fishing is prohibited. Also, there are no more pedal boats. The Dorint Sporthotel is closed. A kiosk with snacks and a pizzeria are still open. A pity.

Bitburg Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The reservoir Bitburg is a popular destination. Here are some MTB and hiking tours. At the weekend it can be fuller here. The lake is still good as a starting point for nice tours.

Rittersdorf Castle

Highlight • Castle

Rittersdorf Castle has remained almost unadulterated since it was built and conveys an impressive picture of late medieval and modern Renaissance living culture. The approximately 700-year-old moated castle is located three km north of Bitburg in Rittersdorf. It houses a small local history museum and the registry office (branch office) of the Bitburg-Land association municipality in the Gothic Knights' Hall. There is also a privately run restaurant with fine country cuisine. In terms of art history, the castle is particularly known for the elaborately designed archway.

Medieval banquets are held in the castle hall at regular intervals. After the welcome by the lord of the castle and his servants, squires and maids in medieval costumes serve food and drink. Banquet singers, jugglers and the authentically set knights' table contribute to the medieval atmosphere. Of course you can enjoy a fine country kitchen and a first-class wine in the stylishly furnished rooms of the restaurant.
