Daleiden Village Center
Highlight • Settlement
The place was first mentioned in a document in the 13th century.
The eventful history of the place includes rule change, plague and Ardennes offensive.
Which of these events was the worst for the simple Eifel population here and in other places has not yet been finally clarified.

Machtemes Mill — Hotel, Restaurant and Waterwheel
Highlight • Restaurant
According to the website of the operator, the mill itself was originally a Lohmühle.
The first written mention should go back to the 17th century.
Lohmühlen were used at that time, in order to win the tanning material needed for leather tanning. With the help of the mill tannery-containing oak bark (= Lohe) was crushed.
The raw material was won in so-called "Luhhecken" (Lohhecken).
These were oak forests, which were managed in the Nierderwaldbetrieb to this end.

Falkenauel
Highlight • Settlement
The place belongs politically to the municipality Daleiden, Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm, Rhineland-Palatinate.
The Irsen forms here the Gemarkungsgrenze to the district Karlshausen.
The mill, which is located on the left bank of the river is therefore not to Daleiden, but to Karlshausen.
In this respect, the name "Karlshausener Mühle" hits the mark.
Prior to the territorial reform, however, the Irsen was not only the boundaries of boundaries, but also the border between the former districts of Bitburg and Prüm.
In Falkenauel is also the language border between the "Islek" and the "Gutland variant" of the Moselle-Franconian language.
