We've been here quite often. This time, too, we were absolutely thrilled. Mostly beautiful trails, and from every direction, we had fantastic views of the Manderscheid castles.
We couldn't complain about the weather either, so it was a complete success and definitely worth recommending 🥾🐾🏰🌳🏞️😍👍🙋

To put it bluntly - the Castle Trail is fantastic! We start at the paid parking lot by the old dairy (€1.50 for three hours) and follow the signs for the Manderscheid Castle Trail. The entire trail is extremely well signposted, which is rare. There's also a via ferrata that runs along the castles in several stages. Along the way, …

Since I didn't feel like it at all today, I chilled a bit at the Meerfelder Maar ...
Our subsequent tour went to Manderscheid. Unfortunately, the bridge fell victim to the flood and so it went through the Leisa without further ado ... It was a great lap! 😎

The second tour was the "Manderscheider Burgenstieg". Spontaneously, due to the constant rain in the morning, we decided to do this slightly shorter tour. worth it!
The paths were sometimes quite demanding (a real challenge if you're afraid of heights, if you don't like "steep edges" next to you soo ^^), but also here 1a signposted.
There was a little …

March 14, 2024,Wanderung nach Aussichtspunkt „Belvedere“

Today we walked the Manderscheider Burgenstieg. We actually wanted to walk over the suspension bridge, but the dog didn't dare go over here.

So we had to take an alternative route to the “Eifelblick Belvedere”.

The weather played well today.

The total time of the hike including snack breaks and just looking at and enjoying nature was around 3:40 hours
